A few days ago, singer Madonna revealed her first NFT series, Mother of Creation.
The collection, designed with Beeple, was created to honor motherhood and birth by showcasing the natural wonders, as well as the help provided by technology.
Despite initial community criticism and response indicating that the NFTs were exhibiting nudity and appeared coarse in their eyes, the auctions for the three NFTs ended with results against the odds.
The three auctions, which took place on SuperRare, brought in a total of $628,829:
- the first NFT, Mother of Nature, featuring an opening giving birth to a branch that evolves into a full and vibrant tree, was sold for 170.5 ETH, or $346,405 at the time of the auction;
- Mother of Evolution, the second NFT, was sold for 72.05 ETH, or $146,816 at the time of the auction, and it explored the transformation journey of butterflies, which are symbols of optimism;
- Mother of Technology, the third NFT, representing how science may also bring light into the world, was sold for 66.55 ETH ($135,608).
Proceeds from the sale will benefit charities including The Voices of Children Foundation, The City of Joy, and Black Mama’s Bail Out.
