Night worker cleans pollen from civic plaza in at a crosswalk by a school gate in Ikeja

Night worker cleans pollen from civic plaza

by Theresa Hahn

Tungsten light spills from a nearby window, casting a warm, yellow glow against the cool blue of the overcast night sky. A city worker stands on the wet asphalt of a crosswalk in Ikeja, directing a stream of water from a hose toward a large civic sculpture. The water creates a shimmering sheet of motion that catches the artificial light, washing away the fine, yellow pollen dust coating the stone surface. Behind the figure, the dark metal bars of a school gate rise vertically, framing the action against the heavy, clouded sky. The wet pavement reflects the worker's silhouette and the bright window light, creating a stark contrast between the warm interior spill and the cold, damp exterior atmosphere. One spray of water arcs upward, breaking the stillness of the heavy night.
