What happens when a creative mind becomes so “turned on and tuned in” that the boundary between coincidence and cosmic meaning dissolves? In Chaos Under Glass, artist and educator Keith Wasserman shares the story of his first manic break during the Blizzard of 1996—and the decades-long journey to accept, align, and collaborate with his bipolar brain through art, mindfulness, and self-awareness. It is a moving exploration of creativity, mental health, synchronicity, and the healing power of artistic practice.

Keith Wasserman is a multi-disciplined artist, musician, filmmaker, and creative facilitator whose work explores symbolism, synchronicity, mindfulness, and the beautifully chaotic nature of the human mind. Blending vulnerability with humor and philosophy with absurdity, he creates work that invites deeper reflection and authentic connection. Through art, public speaking, and community engagement, Wasserman encourages people to cultivate a healthier relationship with creativity, consciousness, and themselves—not by escaping the mind, but by learning how to meet it.
