In this project, photographs from Thomas Ruff's 'Portrait' Series were rendered into waveforms. These waveform graphs indicate light information in Ruff's portrait photos. The waveforms show some level of symmetry due to the 'id photo' style from the original portraits. Although the information was distorted trough the rendering process, some waveform seems to possess human features.
