The Worlds of Plants: Living Through Multispecies Flows

The world in which we live is literally made by plants. We do not only live in this world as a container for our existence, but we also live from this world, as we drink and eat -mainly plants-, and breathe. We breathe in what plants breathe out, exchanging flows every moment. We also live with this world of plants that paints green most of our landscapes. Finally, we, humans, also live through the world, as nexuses of multispecies flows and exchanges. Plants also live through the world. In this essay, we will explore how plants live through the world, as our companions with whom we constantly exchange flows that keep us alive. Reversely, we will see how we and the world actually live through plants, from the leaves, to the roots and fruits.
