The art of experience : the impact of art through a phenomenological perspective : an artistic representation on memory and human experience

Abstract

The thesis and project ‘Fejqan’ is an autobiographical work that promotes the idea of memory and experience. The project is targeted to the public members of society where they are invited to look and reflect upon the experience being gathered upon viewing the work and reflect it to their own memory. This would lead to creating personal links with the work and instill discussions through the interrelation between the human experience of producing the work from memory and the act of experiencing the artwork itself. Academic research together with practical sessions helped to realise the project through exploring the necessary materials and skills provided to produce the initial concept into a tangible artwork. The main aim for the project is to link the question on how art is related to human experience. Moreover, the work seeks how artists deal with memories and other people’s experiences by creating various and inspired works of art.
