Son is one of the pieces for my thesis. Quilts are fabrics/old clothes that sewed together as a blanket. Some people use it to preserve smell/scent from people, especially when reusing old clothes. Son is an illustration that communicates sense of longing, how the mother has longed for the reunion with her son who are out of town for school.
