Madonna Gives Birth to Trees and Butterflies in Fully Nude NFTs
Madonna has jumped on the NFT bandwagon, and much like her career in pop music, she’s not afraid to, uh, push boundaries. The musician teamed up with digital artist Beeple to create the charity-benefitting, very NSFW collection “Mother of Creation,” which depicts a fully nude Madge giving birth to trees, butterflies, and other insects. According to Madonna, the “Mother of Creation” trifecta is meant to draw a connection between the ways people create life and the ways people create art. “I wanted to investigate the concept of creation, not only the way a child enters the world through a woman’s vagina, but also the way an artist gives birth to creativity,” the artist explained in a statement. The collection offers three, minute-long videos of a digitized Madonna, where those aforementioned...
