Echoing Heraclitus – “No man ever steps in the same river twice” – the exhibition On ne voit jamais deux fois la même plante (“You never see the same plant twice”) is part of the eternal movement of the world. Each encounter with plant life is unique, as unique as the fleeting moment. A leaf unfolds, a stem bends, the light shifts from hour to hour: nothing we look at remains the same as what we saw before. Plants, living and ever-changing, whisper a lesson in presence: to accept the current, to merge with the flow of nature, to give up holding on to what, by its very essence, passes.

As the Tao Te King teaches, true harmony is born of letting go: forcing nothing, holding on to nothing, allowing each being to flourish, to unfold, then to rest in peace. Growing and declining belong to the same gesture. And in this ever-shifting world, between joys and sorrows, this moment, this very one, is the most beautiful of all.

Peng JiaHao is a Los Angeles-based botanical artist whose multidisciplinary practice brings together living sculpture, photography and site-specific installation. Trained in fine arts and photography, Peng explores the intersections of ecology, temporality and structural fragility. His works, true living ecosystems, map cycles of growth, decline and quiet resilience. Entrusted to time as much as to the gaze, they turn spaces into places of contemplation, sensory silence and deep ecological connection.
