Catherine Nessworthy, an art, film, & entertainment writer based out of Cape Town, South Africa describes Michael Hanna’s portfolio by stating: “These are artworks that breathe in the rhythms of the tide—ebb and flow, emergence and retreat. Even in their stillness, they hum with movement, each detail a trace of something just out of reach: a memory submerged, a voice unheard, a glimmering truth too fluid to hold”. Additionally, Editor in Chief of ArtonWorld: International Magazine of Art & Finance, Carmelita Brunetti writes: "The visual and conceptual work of artist Michael Hanna stands out for its rare ability to transform observation into poetry—and poetry into image. His creations...are visionary translations where matter, light, and words interact in a lyrical and conceptual unity".
