Cruising Trophy (Crotch Grab) is one of the earliest works in Ter Haar’s exploration of cruising, created as he first encountered the practice emerging from the social isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Formed during a period when physical intimacy was heavily restricted, the sculpture reflects the tension between sexual shame, trauma, and the cautious reentry into public connection. Using traditional furniture-making techniques and exposed joinery, the work melds white oak and walnut into a phallic form mounted on a wall plaque, presented as both object and offering. The walnut base evokes the shape of underwear, while five protruding white oak prongs reference a hand grasping a crotch, a nonverbal gesture embedded in cruising culture. Hanging proudly from the wall, the piece frames cruising as a coded language of desire, resilience, and survival within queer public life.
