This audio begins with the soothing sound of water gently flowing into a container. Soon, the water's course is disrupted by something being submerged into it. That something is floral foam, a medium used by florists to anchor flowers and keep them hydrated. The foam, initially coarse and dry, eagerly drinks up the water, its texture softening as it becomes saturated. The audio captures the foam's transformation vividly, with the soft squelching and bubbling noises painting a picture of water seeping into every nook and cranny of the foam. The listener can almost feel the foam expanding, growing heavier and more pliable under the influence of the water. The soundscape created is both fascinating and relaxing, the repetitive, rhythmic nature of the foam absorbing water having a strangely calming effect.
