珞白的系列插画——《逃离人群》、《局外人》与《焦虑之浪》，源自绘本《红猴子的孤岛》（2023）。他以“孤岛”与“红猴子”为核心意象，将疏离、焦虑以及寻找内在平衡的无声挣扎具象化。
在《逃离人群》中，个体从压倒性的环境中抽离，象征着在过度刺激的世界里对空间、修复与自我保护的渴求。《局外人》则捕捉了那种身处闹市却无处归依的断裂感，强调了疏离状态下对联结的徒劳追寻。而在《焦虑的海浪》里，翻涌的巨浪成为了压力的化身，描绘出那种周而复始、不断冲刷个体的心理动荡。
这些作品综合运用了水彩、彩色铅笔、炭笔与单版拓印，揭示了社交焦虑者隐藏在日常生活表象下的脆弱瞬间。这不仅是对个体状态的细致临摹，更是对当代情感经验的一次静默回响。
This series of three illustrations—Escaping the Crowd, An Outsider, and Waves of Anxiety—comes from the picture book The Solitary Island of the Red Monkey(2023). Each piece uses the recurring motifs of the “island” and the “red monkey” to visualise the emotional landscape of isolation, anxiety, and the quiet struggle for inner balance.Escaping the Crowd depicts a figure withdrawing from overwhelming surroundings, symbolising the need for space, recovery, and self-protection in overstimulating environments.An Outsider captures the feeling of being surrounded yet unable to belong, emphasising experiences of detachment and the search for connection.Waves of Anxiety portrays tension through surging waves, giving form to the cycles of pressure and emotional turbulence that repeatedly wash over the individual.Created with mixed drawing materials (38 × 24 cm, 2023), including
watercolour, colour pencil, charcoal and monoprint, the series reveals the vulnerable states of people with social anxiety that often remain hidden beneath everyday life, offering a quiet reflection on contemporary emotional experience.
