The Moirai regarding a string on the skein is a representation of the eyes of the Fates looking at their handiwork when a tangle appears. Love and lust are often the reason such tangles can appear in their well-woven web.
Maybe the Moirai had a plan for these two, and the lovers are following the path in a manner unwanted, or maybe they weren’t supposed to be lovers at all. Whatever the case we have the Fates’ watchful gaze on them. A tangle, a knot, a loose end… I know what my intention was, but the painting leaves it open to interpretation, so I leave that to you to decide.
