Floor To Ceiling
Comfort is that feeling of your feet touching the foot of your bed every night, the feeling of your cotton blend sheets covering you from head to toe, and the subtle scent of shampoo nestled into the weaves of your pillow. Comfort is knowing where the floor creaks when you walk through the room and the feeling of how much space there is between the ceiling and the top of your head. Comfort is familiar, comfort is knowing.
Change, on the other hand, is anything but. It challenges the very foundations comfort is rooted on. It shifts, it turns, and it grows; the idiosyncrasies of normal bursts at the seams. What was once a perfect fit no longer feels right.
Everything seems smaller, tighter, heavier. Everything is not what it used to be.
Iyan de Jesus' Floor To Ceiling is an exposé to the vulnerabilities that come with the incoming tides of change. It dives deep into the feelings of stagnation, the uncertainties of adulthood, and the displacement of growth.
Captured with mechanical romanticism and lucid dreamlike memories, Floor To Ceiling is an exploration of the subtle changes that creep in the middle of the night and in waking, find yourself with your feet beyond the edges of your bed and your head thrust hard against the ceiling.
