Description
He sits alone in a fog of isolation... struggling with himself. In his mind is darkness. Darkness which is born of hopeless pride, for he is proud... too proud to admit that he needs help. He does not see the light that surrounds him. All he needs to do is turn his gaze from within to find that he is surrounded by light. Within that light are the loved ones who have never left his side... though they are but shadows in the fog.
This image is inspired by dark moments shared by many. Sometimes we struggle with ourselves. Sometimes adversity drives us inward and we find ourselves seemingly alone in darkness. Not all of us are good at asking for help. Some of us simply struggle. All too often, we are surrounded by people who truly care... people who would bathe us in light if we but let them.
Thank you for looking. Thank you for your thoughts and support. Thank you for being there.

This is so thought provoking. So many struggle because they're too ashamed to ask for help - especially men, as they see it as a sign of "weakness". Wonderful work.
Carolyn LeGrand
This is a perfect image for what so many go through and for so many who cannot get out of their own way. You, my artist friend, tell it like it is. Rather a mirror to the human condition. Very, very powerful and the description tells the whole story. Thank you John keep it coming!

John amazing how telling and fitting your 'Isolation' image is - in our current isolation creating Covid 19 and Trump age ! -

Looking at this touching image again - It struck me how many people everywhere are already looking exactly like that - staring at and transfixed by their mobile phones and thereby increasing our ever growing and devastating fog of isolation.
Hartmut Jager
John you created a dramatic digital art painting of the soul-destroying effect isolation, or for being despised for merely being different, can have. And, as Dave Farrow pointed out, for being at the receiving end of a despicable rejection by mainstream society - after having laid their lives on the line for them.
John Alexander replied:
Hartmut my friend, I am so happy that you liked this image. It is always a treat to hear from you. I hope that life is treating you well these days.

Your work certainly is interesting and different. It makes us face certain of our own demons, as this piece truly shows. Asking for help, is so difficult to do for some of us. It is a good reminder that some are out there and willing to help if only asked. Good work!

Thank you so much for the kind words Maggie. I always appreciate the support. So happy you stopped by for a visit!
