[1] Her work focuses on documenting people and scenes in Cairo, Egypt, and incorporates street photography, painting, collage, embroidery, and video art.
[4][5] Taking inspiration from the anonymous environment of Cairo's busy streets, Naim's primary artistic process begins with photographing or filming people in public settings.
[6] These photographic prints are sometimes hand-colored, collaged with rolled-up newspapers, or adorned with hand-painted motifs of circles, dots, arabesques, and other symbols.
[2][6][7] In addition, Naim has exhibited both drawings and paintings entirely composed of repeating shapes and colors, with a focus on naturalistic forms like flowers, stars, and trees.
[2][3] Furthermore, critics have noted that Naim's work reflects themes of modernization and globalization in urban Egypt, as well as raises questions about cultural binaries, such as masculine and feminine, contemporary and traditional, religious and secular, and fine arts and handicrafts.
