The Protect Kindness collection reflects on the tangled reality of legal gun ownership in the United States. Using Winnie the Pooh as an unexpected muse, the series highlights how the identity of a gun owner is far more varied—and far more human—than public narratives often suggest.

Through this juxtaposition of innocence and weaponry, Ab-Normal interrogates the contradictions of a nation shaped by violence, manipulation, and generational trauma. The collection challenges viewers to reconsider preconceived assumptions while exploring what it means to safeguard compassion in a country where harm and care often coexist.
