Sažetak	Visual elicitation phenomenology combines the philosophical depth of phenomenological inquiry with the evocative power of visual materials — photographs, drawings, maps, or participant-produced images — to access lived experience more richly than verbal interviews alone. Participants respond to images during in-depth interviews, unlocking memories, emotions, and meanings that words alone may not surface. The approach is used across health sciences, education, and social research when the phenomenon under study is embodied, spatial, or difficult to articulate verbally.	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.
