One of the most significant features of Qin Ai painting is her tendency to use animals —particularly elk—as subjects, rather than people. The animals are the relflection of illusion in the real world. In Stolen Scenery I (2016), it recalls Qin’s about the style and art appoarch of her previous works, she has once mentioned : this painting obviously has some similarities to the works I created in 2015 , but I have a small transfromation on the compositon of space design and a play of illusion. Again, this painting for me is a voice to doubt about the complexity of human relationships in the real world.

秦艾喜愛用動物比擬作人類，牠們在迷幻的空間中是人類在真實世界的一種反映。有關《被盜走的風景之一 》，秦艾說此作是她過往的作品奉格中的一個小轉型。她提到：「這件作品很明顯帶有2015年以前的創作風格。這次我再一次用略帶迷幻的空間，敘述了對外部世界的懷疑。」
