Printed Brochure and Handmade Printed Condom Packaging

Edition of 10 Pamphelets, 25 Printed Aluminum Condom Wrappers 
Installed as a free and pseudo-informative public resource avaliable in a stand / basket for viewers to take.

This work seeks to explore abstract complexities of love and sexual relationships in a way that also contrasts how little the actual emotional rammifications of sex and love are explained in current sex education. The pamphlet stands as an abstract representation of some of these consequences as well as providing "the facts" which are also printed on the condoms to act as a takeaway intended to both provoke reflection and deter transgression in its afflicting word play. Whether these messages affect the outcome of their intended use is an ongoing experiment in communication and media.
