When two people walk through life together, daily routines often obscure the view of the many small things and gestures that unite lovers through an invisible bond: they only become evident in exceptional situations. With his book Mother-Father , Sagar Shiriskar presents a sensitive and stirring homage to his parents. Using historical family photos and his own photographs, Shiriskar reconstructs a biography that transcends the photographer’s personal relationship and has an almost universal character. All the things that people miss or overlook when they live together gain significance through Shiriskar’s photographs: in combination with the historical photographs, they honor the unspectacular moments of life that are generally forgotten over time. The book invites us to look beyond what is visible to the naked eye. As if under a magnifying glass, Shiriskar’s photographs show the relationship between two people and the process of growing old together, thus drawing attention to the beauty of everyday moments.
