We establish a relation between the solution of a relativistic bound state equation in quantum mechanics and the field representation of a bound state with the aid of creation and annihilation operators. We show that a bound system can be represented by a gas of free constituents and a classical effective field representing the countless quantum fluctuations generating the binding potential. The distribution function of the internal momenta is given by the projection of the free states on the solution of a relativistic bound state equation in the rest frame of the bound system. In this approach Lorentz covariance, mass-shell constraints and single particle normalizability of the bound state function are simultaneously and explicitly satisfied. The discussion is made for a two particle bound state and can be easily generalized to the case of three or more particles.
