In the works, he presents a timeless narrative about personal memory by focusing on the simple rituals of everyday life. The focused manual labor action aims to take the viewer to the past, to the remembered memories. The folds of the braids and yarns aim to attract the viewer's attention to it. Brush strokes emphasize the embossed texture of the knitting surface, making the physical traces of labor visible. 

The theme of waiting is reinforced by the central positioning of the pool, known as a traditional water container. It is aimed to create a feeling of watching the flow of time carefully in the viewer. 

A mother's moment of rest and fatigue are depicted. The presence of the cat in the lower right corner of the canvas supports the theme of care and closeness. The cat, with its gaze extending towards its owner, reminds the viewer of the warmth of the intra-group relationship.

The ’Mom's Loops' series aims to evoke tactile memories of the past time in the viewer, starting from a simple knitting action.
