Vegetable oil is released in water, and enters the linear phase of a Rayleigh–Taylor instability, due it its lower density.

This is a real mind-bending photo. The fluid seems to be suspended in midair while seeming to be telling the story of the liquid exploding out of the cup. I think that you came up with a very clever setup to accomplish this shot!
Super interesting editing to make it visually appear like the oil is just spilling out of the cup. The set up is super creative and highlights a great flow.
The physical setup of this image is very cool!
