“Once I came to America, I fell in love with anti-war photography. It expressed the frustration of what my reality was,” she told Sugarcane Magazine in 2021. “At the time, I didn’t have the language to communicate those feelings. Art gave me the gift of communication without words, and that was powerful for me. I loved photography so much I picked it up as a hobby.”

“I started collecting because my wife was so passionate and persuasive about it,” the actor said to Sugarcane Magazine. “Truly. I am still collecting because she was right. The passion is infectious, and the impact on our kids seeing themselves in the works is unparalleled.”
