Linden Gledhill is an American photography artist and biochemist. Using a combination of water and neon lights, he managed to capture images of acoustic waves, turning them into stunning visual masterpieces.
"Linden Gledhill is an artist who explores the physical world at different image scales and fragments of time," according to his official website.

Gledhill created these images by placing a tank of water atop a speaker powerd by an amp and connected to a computer that used sine wave generating software.

The photographer stood above the water tank and took pictures of the kaleidoscopic images which appeared.

"Just like all waveforms, sound consists of wavelengths, frequency, amplitude and velocity." Sound waves are created by the vibration of some object, like the speaker hooked up to the amp, and are detected when they vibrate the detector, like the water'.

'When you read about the geometric symmetry of nature and physics its not surprising these vibration modes resemble things like sea shells and in this case a turtle shell,' the artist remarked.
