Love Heart Collection

DIE 4 U is taken from the AK-47: 'Lost Innocence' which was created in 2015 after Bran returned from Sierra Leone. He quoted "It was one of the most difficult trips I had made"

The messages on the love heart sweets were taken from extracts from when Bran photographed and interviewed young teens and adults who were child soldiers in Sierra Leone. He asked them what they were doing, why they were there, and who would they die for?

There were roughly 10,000-14,000 children who fought between 1991 and 2002 in the Sierra Leone Civil War. Children fought on both sides of the conflict. Nearly half of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) and a quarter of the government armed forces consisted of children aged 8–14 years old and the AK-47 was the prominent weapon used in Sierra Leone.
