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.
