Name
Fragrant Dreams by Klara of the Laughing Roses
Description
What lies behind the veil of motherhood? What love waters a dream? In "Fragrant Dreams" by Klara of the Laughing Roses, each artwork subtly showcases the profound yet often uncelebrated strength behind maternal influence. Klara, working in the tranquil confines of her Daegu studio, blends molten beeswax with vivid pigments to craft mysterious works on wood. The faces hidden behind roses symbolize the nurturing yet unseen forces that shape the dreams we grow. Enhanced with post-production by Midjourney, this series not only explores the bold mystery and refined strength of motherhood but also gently reminds us that every mother deserves a moment of rest. "Fragrant Dreams" invites you into a realm where the essence of nurturing is both a shield and a revelation, celebrating the invisible labor that molds the future and helps our dreams grow.

# [Klara of the Laughing Roses]
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.
