The “Emulsifier” is a hand-painted anamorphic sculpture comprising 160 glass strips. When the sculpture is rotated, a different image appears at every 90° angle. The glass strips are set into laser-cut slits in a wooden base. The images were painted on to the glass with the same colours used to colour traditional stained-glass windows.

The title of this hand-painted anamorphic sculpture refers to the phenomenon of emergence, whereby an entity is observed to have properties that its parts, on their own, do not possess. Each side of the piece has been decorated with an anamorphic painting, only visible from one perspective. Since every painted figure fills the exact same surface as its counterpart on the opposite side, only one figure at a time can be seen.
