From TESTUDO:

"The disintegrated ribs of the lute resemble driftwood, washed up on the beach by waves and wind. In the water they are a shelter and food source for fish and other sea creatures. Once on land they have a rebirth. The beachcomber takes the fragments with him to house and creates a work of art with it. Lost hope gives life."
