Thesis written in accordance with Roger Anis' long year project on the Nile. Since 2017, the Nile has played a central role in his work. What began as a journey to explore the river beyond Egypt — following its path to its largest source — has grown into an ever-expanding body of interconnected projects. From documenting floods in Sudan to examining microscopic life within the water, from mentoring emerging storytellers across the Nile Basin to reviving ancient rituals with a community of fishermen in Cairo, this journey continues to branch out, revealing new layers and deeper connections. A mosaic in progress, each project forms a fragment contributing to a broader understanding of the river. These projects, whether rooted in myth, science, memory, or collaboration, come together to form a richer image of the Nile and its people. Anis'passion for bodies of water stems from both a deep emotional connection and a desire to better understand what often goes unseen. Through this ongoing journey, he strives not just to document, but to learn, exchange knowledge, have an impact and contribute to a shared narrative — one shaped by those who live with and depend on the Nile.
