-
Harsher in Hindsight: Her last painting was titled "Fragile", which was posted a week before it was announced that she passed away. - Ocular Gushers: The "Crying in a Puddle" picture, which a figure laying in a puddle of their tears.
- Reality Subtext / Write What You Know: Qinni based most of her artwork on her health problems.
