We see Maxwell's reflection behind a grid on the map on the wall, as if his soul is in cage.
We see branching features on the map that almost look like they're the hands of some disturbing creature, reaching towards his reflection.
We see stars on the map in a cluster, almost looking like a swarm of insects decapitating his reflection.
We rotate around them, as if the song itself is pulling him away, making the previous scenery and all that it represents disappear.
We rotate further to see various mementos on his desk, reminding us of the pain hiding underneath all the hate.
We see two items that we recognize as small hologram memorials to fallen Starfleet crew members, from seeing Tasha Yar's in s2e09 "Measure of a Man".
We see his computer with a fallen cadet's profile on it.
We see a padd with another.
We finish rotating around them, returning to the reality of his situation. It literally hangs over his head.
We're further away from them now, making him seem smaller, less threatening and more vulnerable than before.
Here's the original scene for comparison:
