"These Two! by Piotr Maciaszek is proof that family—biological, adoptive, or chosen (it doesn’t matter)—is always the most important part of our lives, and nothing beats the time spent with those we feel connected to.
Piotr spends a lot of time with his grandparents, Ludwik and Anna, and naturally documents these moments. Who wouldn't want to keep such fun times forever? Even though both of his grandparents are over 90 years old, they seem like a lot of fun. Cooking, eating, exercising, taking afternoon strolls, and spending holidays in the sanatorium... these activities may seem ordinary, but they look truly special in Piotr's photos. You can tell this isn’t just a photo project for him—it’s his life!
Piotr not only continues the long-lost tradition of making a family album but also creates a testimony of life in Poland—a kind of life that is slowly disappearing. That’s not an easy task. We know how hard it is to distance yourself from the surroundings you grew up in and simply observe and document them "as they are".
And if that was not enough Piotr in everyday life works as an architect and (even if trained in) photography it's just his passion. Chapeau!"
