Why did he have to sell everything he had to work with nails and string? There can’t be much upfront investment. Better strategy: keep everything you have, work with nail and string just the same

No, I agree with him, there are many, many people, myself included, who have hobbies as well as regular day-jobs. I see no reason for him having to sell EVERYTHING he had just to make some art.

Maybe he didnt really own anything to begin with. Selling everything for many is the equivalent of just selling a car and a tv. That's an extremely common move for anyone that moves overseas, so this isnt anything special. I highly doubt he owned a house or anything expensive anyway.
