It is an alternative way in dealing with peace in relation to Self, Others and God.” The activity was an attempt document imagery of the environment were he/she came from to be able to discern to what extent does this experience elevate or direct the artists in art production or imagery.

And this perspective will become a “viewpoint toward things” .So; this act of Soul-Making situates the individual in the midst of the world.” It does not seek a way out of or beyond the world towards redemption or mystical transcendence (Hillman 1983). Creating imagery or a metaphor. Creating a new story of a changing environment.
