There are multiple things entering in your mind.

The family I grew up in had three generations of widows.

This is my first collaboration [with Mary Hamill] so I'm going to learn how it's going to work.

Sometimes the mere connection we make with each other can change people's lives. It doesn't have to be something big. The mere fact that you're interested in them makes them happy.

Mary's [Hamill] working from an outsider perspective and I'm working from an insider-outside perspective. In this case, it will bring an added dimension to the visual aspects of the work. Also the processes and approaches that I'm thinking are about learning. I'm playing it by ear to experiment and see what happens.

All throughout my work, even in the United States, I have worked with the greater Cambodian community.

I think that through the narratives of other people you get closer to your own.
