תקציר	Visual elicitation autoethnography (VEA) is a qualitative self-study method that combines the personal narrative orientation of autoethnography with the stimulus power of visual artefacts — photographs, drawings, or found images — to prompt and deepen autobiographical reflection. The researcher produces or selects images from their own life, then uses those images as elicitation tools to generate rich written or spoken narratives about a cultural phenomenon they have lived through, positioning the self as both researcher and research subject.	Autoethnography is a qualitative research method in which the researcher uses systematic self-reflection and personal narrative to examine their own experiences within a cultural, social, or organizational context. By treating the self as both subject and instrument, autoethnography connects individual lived experience to broader cultural patterns, making personal stories analytically and socially significant. It bridges autobiography and ethnography, producing accounts that are simultaneously evocative and scholarly.
