In her paintings, she focused on the Palestinian dress worn by the women of Palestine, which differs according to each region, in addition to her use of elements of Palestinian heritage, such as the straw bowl and the jar. She used oil colors on canvas, embodied some paintings with a feather and others using a drawing knife as required by the subject and what serves the work.

Abdel Muti Abu Zaid, head of the Palestinian Plastic Artists Union, said: “The exhibition, which is the first for artist Hanan, embodies her long experience in the history of the Palestinian heritage in all its vocabulary, especially the dress and Palestinian cities,” noting that she gave her paintings a human movement that made the mother the hero of her paintings.

Artist Hanan confirmed that she embodied, through her exhibition  the Palestinian woman and the Palestinian dress, by making the woman a symbol of nostalgia and that the Palestinian heritage is her beautiful world, considering that the Palestinian dress is an integral part of the Palestinian identity and is a very beautiful painting.
