    The Generational Legacy of War
    Phuong Nguyen, age 39, sits in his home outside of Da Nang, Vietnam. Phuong is a second-generation Agent Orange victim; his father was a transporter for the Vietcong during the Vietnam War and was exposed to the defoliant during his service. Phuong has dedicated his life to helping others who have been affected by Agent Orange, working full-time at the Da Nang Association for Victims of Agent Orange (DAVA Centre). When asked if he was ever angry because he was not born “like everyone else” he paused for a moment before answering. “My anger turned to happiness when I realized that I could help people; it was only then that I accepted that maybe this was my destiny.”

    African American, Inshirah Abdel-Jaleel, 68
    “Although I am a gun owner, I would pray to God to never have to use my gun against another human being. I don’t want to ever have to shoot or take the life of another human being, because it’s well known in Islam that if you take the life of a person, it’s as if you’ve killed the whole of humanity.”–said Inshirah Abdel-Jaleel.

    Untitled
    "I can cry in front of them, I can tell them my secrets. I buy them things and they calm me down. I just feel comfortable around them,” says twenty-six year old Lisa Schalm as she poses for a portrait inside of her bedroom in Brockport, N.Y., on Oct. 14, 2017. Lisa suffers from depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder and said that these reborn dolls are the only solution to help calm her symptoms. A reborn doll is a manufactured skin doll that has been transformed by an artist to resemble a human infant with as much realism as possible.
