Sažetak	Visual Elicitation Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (VE-IPA) combines the idiographic, sense-making framework of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis with visual elicitation techniques — photographs, participant-produced drawings, or other images — to deepen access to lived experience. Visuals serve as concrete anchors that help participants articulate feelings and meanings that are difficult to express in words alone, making the approach especially productive for embodied, emotional, or tacit dimensions of experience.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
