- Louise Bourgeois intensively explores the female body and repeatedly highlights the theme of motherhood
- The work was created in 2008, two years before the artist's death, when she reflected once again on the mother-child relationship at the high age of 97
- In "The Endless Loop", the artist extends the theme to the family and succeeds in depicting with simple means the relationship of a family in all its never-ending interconnectedness.
