In 2020, Calla began work on their most personal project — 

Inspired by the works of David Hockney, Andrei Tarkovsky and Andy Warhol — the images serve as a snapshot of 2020s LGBT+ culture in Los Angeles. Presented as a single tapestry, the 2,500+ instant photograph archive is encased between two large acrylic sheets; the entire portrait is then dressed as a larger-than-life altar using ephemera from the artists, events and places found in the photos themselves. The piece offers a place to reflect on the lived histories of the hundreds of LGBT+ lives in the frame, and to consider the cultural heritage and memory of LGBT+ Angelenos. The work also asks the audience:

Who gets to be remembered?

The piece presents audiences with an opportunity to view over a half decade of Queer history in a single moment and space. It confronts the viewer with questions about time, memory and the power of photographic images. Galleries and institutions across the world preserve cultural heritage on our behalf, and this piece asks; how do audiences and artists contend with who is institutionalized and who gets to be remembered? Ceremonious asks audiences to come to a place of worship. To visit an altar of LGBT+ storytelling and cultural history, and to regard the subjects in the photographs with the same kind of reverence shared with Kings and Queens of monarchies in museums around the world. It asks the audience to participate in the Ceremony of crafting a new mythology together, and preserve these kings, queens and things with equal reverence.
