It looks like Madonna is the latest celebrity to hop on board the NFT train, but rather than flogging a jpg of a cartoon monkey it looks like there’s considerably... a lot more on offer this time round.
In what can only be described as the most bizarre use of the medium to date, the Queen of Pop recently announced the launch of a new limited edition NFT collection, in which - and I swear I’m not making this up - a digital depiction of the singer can be seen giving birth to a variety of trees, wildlife and insects via a 3D scan of her own vagina.
Collectively titled ‘Mother of Creation’, the collection - a collaboration between Madge and digital artist Beeple (real name Michael Joseph Winkelmann) - is a series of three unique art pieces which, according to the project’s website, are meant to deliver the message that “you never know where you are going to find life, and you can never give up hope,” and are set to be auctioned off for charity today.

But enough about that, let’s unpack this content so you don’t have to.
In the first video, titled ‘Mother of Nature’, a digitised version of Madonna can be seen sitting completely naked on a metal exam table in an empty laboratory, when a horde of vines start to shoot out of her vagina. She then proceeds to give birth to an enormous tree.
Bark, branches, and leaves all begin to grow from her private area, shortly followed by moss and flowers - which are shaped like vaginas themselves - because y’know - which then begin to cover the tree.
“My journey through life as a woman is like that of a tree. Starting with a small seed, always pushing against the resistance of the Earth. The endless weight of gravity,” Madge can be heard saying throughout the one-minute clip.

The second clip, entitled Mother of Evolution, features the Metaversed Madonna - who is once again nude - on top of a rusty old truck.
With her legs spread wide open, butterflies could be seen flying out of her vagina as she recites the lyrics from her song Justify My Love.
“I don't want to be your mother. I don't want to be your sister either. I just want to be your lover. I want to be your baby,” she says. “We can fly.”
Last but not least, the final clip, titled ‘Mother of Technology’, shows the Like a Virgin songstress laying naked in the woods while metal centipedes crawl out of her genital area.
The robotic bugs proceed to exit out of her vagina and make their way into the forest, “depicting the way science can also birth light into the world, but only if used with the right consciousness.”

Whatever you say, Madge.
The duo made the NFTs using 3D scans of Madonna, and it took more than a year to complete. An auction for the art is set to open today on SuperRare, in case you read this whole piece and decided to remortgage your parent’s house in order to own one.
Although who knows, given recent reports that the NFT market crashed by up to 92 percent earlier this week, maybe you’ll get lucky and snag one on the cheap in a few weeks time.
Or y’know, just right-click and save it instead.
