Ajjawi completed her first piece in 2014 in the Ras Al Ain Gallery at a workshop organized by the Women on Walls.[4]
Ajjawi's primary source of income comes from the humanitarian sector, and she has worked as a site supervisor in a refugee camp.[1][5] She took the humanitarian route as a response to the Syrian crisis, saying her work with Syrian refugees has widened her knowledge of "social life and humanity."[5]
Ajjawi's art highlights issues such as gender-based violence, a lack of women's representation in the workforce, and the ongoing discrimination of Palestinian refugees. She paints murals of strong women as a means to show other women and refugees that they can take control of their lives, despite legal and social opposition.[1][5] She is strategic in the colors she uses in her art, and uses cool-toned colors to promote a sense of peace and calm.[3]
Ajjawi has discussed the potential difficulties that including political content in her works could cause, and has stated that her art is focused more on social issues, especially women's rights.[6]
Ajjawi has accumulated numerous awards for her art, writing, and short film.[1] One notable work is her 2014 mural Look At My Mind, which she created as part of the Women on Walls project.[1][2][5] Look At My Mind questions societal focus on women's appearances.[7]
Other works include a 2021 mural in Irbid titled My country's daughter,[8] and a mural completed in 2023 in celebration of International Women's Day.[6]
Ajjawi has partnered with other leaders that focus on women's empowerment as well. In 2015, she painted a mural for SheFighter, Lina Khalifeh's women-only martial arts training studio in Amman, Jordan.[1]
