Complementary to her practice as an artist, Quinda Verheul is also an athlete partaking in several competitions each year. Usually, these are solo ultra-distance mountain bike competitions that depend on self sufficiency. Being in the midst of the landscape, experiencing the mountains, the different weather conditions, and the site at night enhances her fascination for the landscape which is inextricably reflected in her practice.

Quinda created a new series that she has named after her favourite mountain pass in Kyrgyzstan; Kegeti - a 4000 metres pass with steep and inhospitable conditions. What inspired this new series was the image of black rocks at the top of the mountain. Lingering in thin air, the black stood out against the blue sky. Being alone for days and finding the motivation to continue created a lot of room for reflection. It was in this moment that she truly became one with her environment.
