An exhibition display featuring a "Beetroot Biocomposite" by Taryn Mead is mounted on a white, textured wall, likely within an older building in Segovia, Spain. The central object is a light-colored wooden plaque, approximately rectangular, with a dark reddish-purple, glossy circular sample embedded in its lower half. This sample represents the biocomposite material. Above the sample, a paper label adhered to the plaque provides detailed information. The text identifies the subject as "Beetroot Biocomposite" and its creator as "Taryn Mead." It explains that Beetroot (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) originated in the Mediterranean region, domesticated around 3000 BCE from wild sea beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima). The label further details that gelatin was sourced from cattle production in Northern Spain, and glycerin was a byproduct of the biodiesel industry, also from Northern Spain. A list of components and their origins is also visible: "Beetroot Puree (Balearic Sea & West Mediterranean Mixed Forests)," "Gelatin (Balearic Sea & West Mediterranean Mixed Forests)," and "Glycerine (West European Coastal Mediterranean Forests)." The display is flanked on the left by an exposed section of an old brick and mortar wall, indicating the historical character of the building. Vertical light-colored wooden beams frame the overall scene, suggesting either architectural elements or part of the display's structure. The lighting appears to be indoor ambient light, with no specific time of day discernible.
