In his body of work Morphing, Hani Naji explores the translation of cultures and texts into visual art that ignites the imagination. With a unique ability to blend the old and the modern, he effortlessly weaves together Eastern and Western influences, creating pieces that unite the unique with the universal, and the traditional with the contemporary. His art becomes a dynamic dialogue between diverse worlds, captured in a singular, unified expression in meaning and composition.

The artist Hani Naji’s Object and Perception series weaves together timeless imagery that lingers in the viewer’s mind. By incorporating symbolic objects—such as candles, books, clocks, and ladders—his work transforms the mundane into profound, unforgettable art by repeating and recontextualizing these objects. In a way reminiscent of Dalí’s Persistence of Memory, where time itself melts and warps, Hani Naji’s objects exist in repetitive and fluid states, often suspended in surreal contexts—floating on ocean currents or drifting through the air. These images evoke a sense of transformation, where the boundaries of time and reality blur.

What sets Hani Naji’s work apart is the subtle yet powerful presence of sound—each object in his pieces seems to carry its own unique sound, echoing through the viewer’s mind. The flicker of a candle, the ticking of a clock, the rustle of pages in a book—these sounds, though not physically present, are so deeply embedded in the artwork’s atmosphere that they seem almost audible. Repetition becomes a tool, allowing these symbols to transcend their physical forms and embed themselves deeply in the viewer’s consciousness, creating a dialogue between memory, perception, and the ephemeral nature of existence. This interplay between visual and imagined sound invites a deeper, multi-sensory experience, much like the haunting, dreamlike spaces Dalí crafted to explore the fragility of human experience.
