Destroy to Create was Vhils's second Nifty Gateway drop, released 5–6 October 2021. Built from slow-motion pyrotechnic films, it comprised two open editions — Love (441 editions) and Peace (193) — the ranked-auction film Pandora, and a Drawings & Burns tier of Detritus fragments (#14–24) through which collectors could trade previous pieces for rarer ones, folding destruction into the collecting mechanic itself. Following Nifty Gateway's 2026 closure the drop pages are preserved via the Internet Archive; the films remain on the platform's CDN.
The drop's eleven Detritus films (#14–#24) are gathered below.
