I found that this video provides a good visual intuition for the Fourier transform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6sGWTCMz2k
It also demonstrates how general the principle is in representing different signals

The weighted sum of many trigonometric functions can be used to approximate an arbitrary function (such as the weird "square" function in the figure on this page)

@Michael-Equi I found the video you sent really interesting! It helped me understand how Fourier transforms worked in a visually intuitive way. I've definitely seen the Fourier transform used in artwork before, but this gave me a new perspective. It was cool to see how the Fourier transform is used in Physics, Trigonometry, Infinite Sums, Artwork, etc.
