Best demonstration of how JPEG uses Fourier Synthesis
This demonstrates the inverse Fourier transform 'in the real world' showing how a non-periodic arbitrary shape can be reconstructed from pure sinusoids.

Examplination from the reddit comments: (chatgpt summarized)
Sound is made of waves that go up and down. Even non-repeating sounds, like saying "a," are made of many different waves with different speeds (frequencies) and sizes (amplitudes). The Fourier transform is a math tool that breaks down a complicated sound into its simple waves. It's like saying the sound "a" is made of a loud 100Hz wave, a quieter 110Hz wave, and so on.
What u/PUMA_Microscope did is similar but with a two-dimensional image. Each plastic card represents a wave, and when you put them together, they form an image, like how different sound waves create a complex sound.

What does this have to do with JPG compression?
Great video describing how jpg uses Fourier synthesis
Guy also made a 3D PRINTED MICROSCOPE
