CHAZ™ confronts the ongoing absence of viable male contraceptives. Despite numerous clinical trials, there remain no widely available solutions for ejaculating individuals beyond condoms and vasectomies. This imbalance leaves women and birthing individuals to bear the overwhelming burden of contraception.

Part performance and part installation, CHAZ™ consists of two large-scale posters (24 × 36 in), designed in the visual language of 1970s pharmaceutical advertising. The works were wheatpasted in two high-traffic locations in New York’s Lower East Side and documented in situ. By mirroring historic ad rhetoric, the project exposes the gendered inequity of reproductive responsibility while proposing a function-based framework that centers “ejaculating individuals.”

The photographs themselves carry an eerie, documentarian gaze: illuminated by harsh flash, the installations appear as though captured at the scene of a crime. The thick, glue-like wheatpaste further echoes the act of reproduction—viscous, messy, and inescapably bodily—transforming a street intervention into a meditation on biology, power, and accountability.
