Nocturne was inspired by composer Frédéric Chopin's Nocturnes, the Pleiades (star clusters also known as the Seven Sisters), and Taiwanese folk tales as told to the artist by her grandmother. For this installation, Wu hole-punched the printed the score Nocturnes onto paper and then mapped the star clusters imagining the Pleiades constellation, thus creating a multilayered piece that uses music as a base map to then render the constellation visible.
