The image displays an exhibit featuring a sample of "Lebanon Cedar Foam" by Taryn Mead, likely located in Segovia, Spain. A small, rectangular, light brown, porous block, representing the foam, is presented on a light-colored wooden plank. Above the sample, a gray cardstock label provides detailed information. The text on the label explains that the sawdust for the sample originates from a Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani) tree grown in the historic gardens of La Granja de San Ildefonso. These cedars, native to the Eastern Mediterranean, were introduced in Spain in the early 1700s at the request of King Philip V. The label highlights the tree's historical significance in Spanish history, though its exact age is unknown. The foam also contains sodium alginate from brown marine algae (likely Atlantic Ocean), and glycerine and white vinegar from unidentified plant sources. A bulleted list reiterates the components: Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani) from Aegean Sea & East Mediterranean Mixed Forests, Sodium alginate from North Atlantic Ocean Marine, and Glycerine and White vinegar of unknown origin. The display is mounted on a rustic wall composed of irregular, light-colored bricks with thick, rough mortar joints. A vertical wooden beam is visible on the left side of the frame. The setting suggests an indoor environment, possibly a museum or historical building, with a focus on historical materials or natural resources.
