The artwork is poetically created through expressionistic brush strokes, the well-applied dry and watery strokes in a minimalistic style representing revolutionary figures. The various layer is made perfectly, which makes this series unique: is deeply behind the dynamic emotion of each figure and abstract form, with the exclusive application of colors to emphasize metaphorical features; pink as woman, yellow as hope, silvery as resistance, and red as blood.
The artwork is inspired by oriental art and calligraphy created motifs harmoniously in a neat composition, her knowledge of poetry let her create a visual poem in an expressionistic style, which is congruent with the title, the use of space and maintaining an empty background and foreground present the solitude of figures and at the same time is connected to oriental art in which empty space has the same value as the filled one, succeed to create pure incarnation.
Her artworks have evident characteristics, they are inspired by Tachisme's “Abstraction lyrique" and the artworks of Henri Michaux, and Hans Hurting then oriental calligraphy and art, at the same time the dynamic sensation of revolutionary art, the slogan of the street wall, are transformed into contemporary language and its features intuitively are subtly inserted.
Her art tries to create a strong connection between symbolism, literature, and visual expression by considering the activeness of social issues, evolving art that could be a mirror of society by passing from internal poetic language and inserting contemporary aesthetics codes, neither too bold to belong to just social art nor indifferent to just belong to art for art.
