He thought of a surrealistic scenario where a solid object suddenly disintegrates into small jets. Big armor-like jewelry emphasizing the anatomy splits into strings. So the object looks solid and liquid at the same time. The stiffness of metal bodyparts on contrast with the fluidity of the strings accentuates the fragility of a body.
In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. He took one of the abilities of strings [different vibrational states of the same string are interpreted as different types of particles] and interpreted it in an artistic way.
