Framed in Roses by Klara of the Laughing Roses

Frame-by-frame a woman appears. She is a work of art without a name and without identity, a feast for the eyes and an object of desire. But wait, she seems to be staring back! Her eyes blink with consciousness, and when she smiles, you realize you are not alone with your thoughts. 
    
 
    
 Original: Encaustic on wood, inspired by the work of Roy Lichtenstein

 Although Klara of the Laughing Roses is certainly not a household name in the art world (nor even her real name), we often forget the empowering nature that being an artist on Web3 can have, especially for members of historically underrepresented backgrounds in the visual arts. Remote villages, lack of art education, and even gender and generation all play a role in who gets seen. And although NFTs give artists the ability to craft their own identity and sell their own story behind a veil of secrecy, their motives entirely their own, the space is not immune to issues of access.

 

 Billed as an egalitarian space where all creators are created equal, OrangeHare believes in the potential of NFTs to break barriers, and is committed to giving voices to those who, for whatever reason, may not have been heard clearly- including Klara of the Laughing Roses.

 All works are original encaustic on wood creations assisted in production by MidJourney.


[Klara of the Laughing Roses] Breaking the Gaze #17

We cant all have a room with a view. Although concrete and shadows cloud our environments, they dont need to cast shade on our dreams. Your thoughts are your own, your imagination limitless. Dont forget to water your soul and make yourself smile from time to time.
