The story behind the painting was taken from feelings of being in a damaged relationship, of personal defects being complemented by a partners flaws.
In the painting there is a physical attraction in the conflict, they are bound to each other in the psychological struggle, supporting but covertly exploiting each other's vulnerability. The apparatus they are wearing helps them to endure their injuries and the limitations that bind them together.
