PROGRAM NOTES

One of the effects that I have experienced while living through a pandemic is a sense of being trapped in a stagnant environment.  Time began to lose its purpose, fading into a blur.  What day was it?  What week was it?  This pandemic gave me the time to think beyond myself, in places far beyond my situation.  I noticed a common thread, as I imagined solitary confinement and how a criminal’s sanity could slowly slip away, rendering them helpless and broken, like a tiger in a cage.  Reality often becomes distorted and lost behind the walls of confinement.  A ubiquitous imprisonment.
