In the 2014 movie The Frame, what does the violin symbolise?
Jamin Winans's 2014 movie The Frame is a film loaded with symbolism and metaphor but the thing I keep coming back to is the violin.
I suspect it represents faith as Alex appears to have lost his when his parents were murdered
But I could be wildly incorrect.

For those unfamiliar with the film, it's labeled as Science Fiction, but I'd argue it more fantastical.

Hi there! I've taken the liberty to edit out the last part as your question is on-topic (and may have an answer from a director/writer etc), but the "hearing other people's opinion" isn't really what Stack Exchange sites are about. May I encourage to take the tour and browse the help center to see how things work around here? :)

@DonTen: No worries on the tags. As a new person, you can't create new tags like that. Once you have a bit more rep, you will be able to.

I spoke to my good friend Kiowa Winans (producer of The Frame) via email. I'm sure she won't mind me sharing her response with a fellow fan.
Q. [I'm] getting hung up on the symbolism of the violin and what it represents. I can't decide if it's something to do with Alex's faith or the fact that he used to have joy in his life [or something else entirely].
Kiowa: Jamin isn't too keen on revealing plot items because he doesn't want to mess with people's interpretations but... I'd say you're on the right track with both here.
(Emphasis mine)
So the short answer is that it's been left intentionally ambiguous by the director, but it has elements that relate to both his childhood and his religious faith.
