My image data set is fingerprints (8000 images). I have them tagged by the type of fingerprint (loop) and the gender of the person.

Source of data: http://www.nist.gov/srd/nistsd4.cfm

Gender: M Class: R History: f0002_05.pct R a0385.pct

Gender: M
Class: R
History: f0002_05.pct R a0385.pct

I was initially hoping to make portraits out of this data. I am a little confused about showing social relevance or making a meaningful piece.
