Pull Me Through Time Painting

The Red String of Fate, an ancient Chinese legend, tells the story of our destiny, of the gods tying an invisible string around the ankles of two people that fate would one day bring together. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break, becoming their way of finding one another, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. “Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul.” “All these years, all these memories, there was you. You pull me through time." –"The Fountain" (Aronofsky) For further insight, see also: Caravaggio, "St. Jerome Writing" (1638) Arnold Bocklin, "Isle of the Dead: Third Version" (1883)
