Fattouh started drawing in 2017, around the same time she began creating her Sleepers sculptures. At that time, she was struggling with insomnia and spiraling thoughts, including both childhood memories and current anxieties. Her drawings are characterized by a naive aesthetic, illustrating her dreams, surroundings, and context.They are humorous yet unsettling, and are manifested through her restlessness and memories. In a way, she finds a suitable coping mechanism by mythologizing her environment.
