Kindred Language 2025
Photobook and two 69cm x 90cm C-Type prints exhibited at LCC grad show May 2025
Awarded best documentary project award by Mark Phillips RPS


Kindred Language reflects on the intricate dynamics of sibling relationships through the lens of photography. 
Featuring participants ranging from family and friends to strangers. As the eldest of six, Lilah has observed her siblings’ lives, capturing their connections since childhood. Documenting her siblings with a VHS camera from the age of 5 to picking up a stills camera at 15, this project is an extension of her own relationships and the transition into adulthood she and her siblings are exploring together.  

The project highlights relationships that we did not choose to have. Emphasising collaboration, participants shaped each photoshoot, contributing ideas and selecting locations to authentically represent their unique bonds. Through this process, Lilah invites viewers to reflect on their own sibling relationships and the complexities inherent in them.
