It looks like the lung, Or a part of it is rising from in between the ribs, But in fact it is the rest of the chest going up and the part with the broken ribs staying still...

Paradoxical movement of the chest caused by fractures of multiple ribs in multiple places. Caused by some traumatic event. As The pt inhales, the segment goes in, as he exhales the segments moves outwards. This does not allow oxygen exchange to occur where the site of injury is and leads to hypoxia.
