The word 'emotionalism' is projected on a wall.
Rendered in clear borosilicate glass, the word is kept in a shallow reservoir of water on an overhead projector. Droplets of water fall intermittently, causing wavelets to radiate across the surface.

The overhead projector sits in the corner of the room.

The ambient light from the overhead projector casts prisms and reflections on the wall and ceiling.

Water flows from the reservoir into a system of tubes and Arduino-controlled peristaltic pumps.
