The works of Cara To, a dark ethereal world where her visions of enchanted animals come alive. The figures, animated from the shades of her childhood dreams and nightmares, dart back and forth from the shadows. Tangled in fear, Cara felt caught in a vicious circle that translated into an obsession with repetition and connections, stringing from anywhere to anything.
In her compositions, Cara plays with light and shadow, embracing the fears that used to torment her in a defiant act of acceptance of her past. In the process, she performed a feat of time travel by only listening to the music and watching the movies she had experienced as a teenager; she journeyed back to the macabre and the quirky with the help of Perfect Circle, Deftones and Tim Burton.

Cara To is an artist from Belgium.She was raised by her Hong Kong born parents who taught her traditional Chinese values. She studied Biochemistry at university followed by Game Design and moved to Amsterdam to work as a 3D artist in a post-production house called Post Panic.

In addition to long boarding, she started to do graffiti art. In the winter of 2013, Cara moved to Hong Kong. It has been an amazing journey until now, and she is excited for what is yet to come.
