作品画像：右腕と左前腕の欠損で生まれたハア（Ha、生後10ヵ月）を抱く母親のタイ（Nguyen Thi Thai、25歳）。ハアにはクロルアクネ（塩素にきび）状の皮膚発疹もみられた。母親が米軍機の枯葉剤を浴びたのは12歳当時のこと。有機塩素系の枯葉剤Agent Orangeの中には発癌性と催奇性を併せ持つ 2378-TCDD（ダイオキシン）が不純物として混入していた（Tay Ninh=タイニン省、Loc Hung=ロクフン村。1981年）

Nguyen Thi Thai, a 25-year-old mother, holds Ha, 10 months old, who was born with missing right arm and left forearm. Ha also had a chloracne-like skin rash. Her mother was 12 years old when she was exposed to defoliant from a U.S. military plane. The organochlorine defoliant Agent Orange contained 2378-TCDD (dioxin), which is both carcinogenic and teratogenic (Tay Ninh Province, Loc Hung Village, 1981).
