The signature
The glass
bullet.
Each bullet is hand-blown in England and filled with something that carries meaning — a miniature time capsule set into the work, where a live round used to be.
What goes inside
Every element carries a story
The glass bullet is where Bran’s work becomes personal. Each one is shaped by hand to the exact form of a real round, then filled with materials chosen for what they mean: sand or soil from a place that mattered, stones, gold, diamonds or birthstones.
For the KS1 sculpture that sold for £1,000,000 at auction in support of UK military charities, the bullets held North African desert sand and a fragment of a Second World War parachute.
