My home growing up always had false ceilings (drop ceiling) to accommodate more storage. They were in specific parts of the flat, and you could always tell where based on swarms of fingerprints in isolated areas. We were careful not to have too much of this false ceiling. The structure of the home communicated a certain message: that we had nothing to hide.

Like a sieve, these images sift out the architecture, the ritual, and the background. Here, my older sister Pooja is being named. Behind her, my late grandmother is setting up a sawhorse cradle for her.
