Abstract


This research employs the benefit of phototherapy as part of a sustainability value of visual in significant to the industry revolution 4.0. This ongoing process might be utilised in different ways from time to time. The research featured a random audience of Myanmar Refugees, aged 7 to 55 years old. Each participant was asked to pick one random image from 200 that reflected their background, ethnicity, visual experience preferences and interests. From selected image, participants were asked to talk about the visual chosen. This study used photo elicitation technique, with the aim being to measure the ability of phototherapy can become part of the alternative therapeutic process, mainly in visual studies. The methodology adopted for this study was based on qualitative interviews. From the discussion of the results, this research has developed an appropriate framework. From these observations, the research found Phototherapy evokes the communication process by indirectly encouraging people to open up and talk while describing the visual. The result from this research aims to provide data for any related agency, art therapy guidelines and a method for determining individual emotional states. In addition, this study narrowed the findings into the source of understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda THREE (3) on the section of Non-communicable diseases and mental health.
