According to DeltaSauce, the journey of creating this collection began in March of this year. Originally conceptualized as an exploration of Liminal spaces, the focus shifted organically to a thematic exploration of Windows. The decision was not only a personal challenge to change artistic direction but also a nod to a previous successful drop in 2022. This earlier release, a collaboration with humanoidia, marked a turning point for DeltaSauce, allowing a transition from a retail job to a full-time commitment to the art world. It served as an open door to a realm of endless possibilities.

In discussing the artistic approach, DeltaSauce emphasized the significant role narrative plays in the artwork. Whether conveyed through direct messages or subtle undertones, DeltaSauce finds joy in connecting diverse elements, considering the art as a form of world-building, where each piece represents a reality within a multiverse of ideas.
Upon conceptualizing the theme and message, DeltaSauce explored various directions, incorporating early MJ/SD technology. This stage involved breaking both to achieve the desired outputs, highlighting the progression of technology and an evolving proficiency in using tools. While the models advanced, reaching the envisioned outcome became more accessible but not without challenges. Embracing novelty required adapting to new learning curves, with old processes proving less effective. A critical midway review led DeltaSauce to discard 300 pieces out of the initial 500, recognizing a misalignment with personal artistic standards. This provided an opportunity to start anew, armed with a deeper understanding of the artistic intent. Learning more about the creative direction motivated DeltaSauce to extend further, prompting touch-ups on the majority of the collection. Coming from a background in sculpting/woodworking, DeltaSauce prefers a hands-on approach to creations.
DeltaSauce drew inspiration from childhood films, fellow artists in the space, and various sources. Television, serving as escapism during a time when family was seldom present, transported DeltaSauce to a world filled with unnatural adventures and daring sci-fi narratives. The theme of AI, representing a sandbox of ideas waiting to be explored, became a central focus in this collection. DeltaSauce expressed gratitude for the collection's prolonged development, providing opportunities to play within this realm while simultaneously learning and creating.
DeltaSauce excels in bringing new perspectives to this art form, just as their name suggests. The Duality of Perspective is beautifully showcased in some pieces. At times, while observing the feelings conveyed when looking from the inside out, we witness windows opening to the emotions. Other times, we observe windows opening from the outside into the lives of others. Through these windows, we gain insights into people's lives, and sometimes, we even witness materials spilling out or flowing in from these windows. This illustrates how, at times, the situation becomes irresistibly captivating, highlighting the flexibility of boundaries.
