The artwork is expressively and poetically created, the well-applied dry and watery strokes represent gestural revolutionary figures in a minimalistic manner in a miniature style of composition. which makes this series unique: it is deeply behind the dynamic emotion of each gestural figure, four colors here have metaphorical features; pink as woman, yellow as hope, silvery as resistance, and red as blood. another aspect that stands out in this art is the vigorous and unbridled energy of brushstrokes. Her Series could be described as raw, spontaneous, and emotionally charged. Gestures are a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on social and political issues.The panoramic lines inspired by Persian calligraphy, here have an exclusive sense of narration harmoniously. The style of Persian calligraphy and knowledge of poetry let her make a visual poem in an expressionistic style, congruent with the poetic title, the use of space and maintaining an empty background and foreground intentionally have been made to emphasize the solitude and loneliness and the same time connect to oriental calligraphy.
Her artworks artwork has evident characteristics: strongly inspired by Tachisme's “Abstraction lyrique", oriental calligraphy, the dynamic sensation of revolutionary art, the slogan of the street wall transformed into contemporary language, and its features intuitively are subtly inserted.
