Inspiration: This painting was inspired from one of my earlier paintings I did titled Soul Ties. String theory is almost an extension of Soul Ties because it represents my connections to all my past failed relationships and how I used to get so attached to new relationships in the beginning but now over the years I have noticed I have become much more distant to the point that I wonder if having a long-term loving relationship is even possible for me. I have put my art first so many times and I have sacrificed everything for my art that when i begin to think about staying connected to someone I get this fear that my art will no longer come first. I know that is not healthy thinking, but it is something I think about almost on a daily basis. I created this painting to remind myself that I am worthy of love even if I have pushed it away time and time again in pursuit of my art.
