"Nephews has been more than 10 years in the making and is the result of a collaboration between the artist Fryd Frydendahl and the two young boys her sister left behind upon passing. What started as a need to fill her own void has turned into a communication across geographic and emotional barriers’ while turning into a "document of time and a family story about growing up and doing it together". In collaborating, the three of them have renegotiated a tragedy that could have very easily set them all adrift. They chose each other, instead. The images speak for themselves, and the work is overwhelmingly generous."

Over the past 15 years, Frydendahl has marked herself as one of her generation’s most important photo artists, dedicated to a repertoire of intimate photography. When Frydendahls sister died in childbirth, she started photographing the infant boy and his other brother that her sister left behind, which ten years later would result in a seminal series, Nephews, exhibited at V1 Gallery and published by Konnotation in 2017. The photographs became something for Frydendahl and her nephews to collaborate about while navigating sorrow, naive boyhood, premature adulthood and changing family dynamics. An intimate, tender, respectful and playful tale about loneliness, friendship, love, loss and family bonds. The project truly changed Frydendahls life and her perspective on work and she has used her immediate surroundings in her photography ever since because, as she believes herself, her work is best when she's personal, yet never private. Her work is included in the collections of the National Museum of Photography, National Gallery of Denmark (SMK), and Brandts Museum of Art.
