Water Me

2024

A lyrical ode to conscious existence, "Water Me" invites readers to drink deep from the wells of Udo's (a boy from an Igbo village) experiences, where the essence of life mirrors the fluidity of the rivers that cradle this story.

"Seedling is a poem.

It was born while being boxed in a tiny apartment within a super populated megacity during the covid lockdown.

Seedling is a resonation of a connection to our Earth Mother. A desperation to be closer to her. An almost divine reverie of being one with our planet."

~ Nisrin Aziz

More Storytelling

Music Videos

An exploration of cyberpunk retro-futurism inspired by the art of Sam Madhu & hung over the distinctive music from the incredible hip-hop star, Rajakumari, this film speaks of opening your third eye and connecting yourself to a past-future world drawn from spiritual cyberspace.

The Fictionary a boutique studio for all things creative run by sibling duo Nisrin and Adil Aziz.

With special focus on sustainable consumption and production of ideas, using creative therapy, concept-consciousness and jam sessions as tools for inspiration, their work over the years has been a study of the specific aspects of culture, psychology and consumerism in media today.

Being one of the first ateliers to set up a remote-studio jam room for visual concept crafting, their experience has taken them into advertising and film jam rooms all over the world including India, Europe, Middle East, South Africa, South East Asia and USA.
