 “Maelstrom” is centered around the concept of a state of mental chaos. The piece looks at how a constant stream of thoughts can cause mismatched ideas and images to emerge in a rapid succession. Each of these elements may be fleeting or more deeply attached to our identity as we sort through our own spiraling thoughts. “Maelstrom” is an excerpt from the evening length work “Ghost in the Black Jacket”, which deals with the way we form our sense of self and unique identity.
