Her artistic practice focuses on the blending of movement, performance art, video, and technology, as a way to explore the intersection and in-between space of art forms. Her work often explores themes on spirituality, reality, perception and dynamic intersections that can exist between virtual and physical realms. She is very honoured to be a recipient of the 2023/2024 Chrystal Dance Prize. Caroline is the Co-Artistic Director of Chimerik 似不像 , a multi-award-winning interdisciplinary organization consisting of artists from underrepresented groups from various age groups, backgrounds, levels of experience, and disciplines.
