I was born into a Muslim family that adheres to religious teachings, so since I was young, I was taught about how to pray and various religious doctrines. Departing from this background, I want to deepen my understanding of religious belief through meaningful daily experiences. Then, I expressed all these experiences and inner feelings in abstract expression paintings. The problem I want to examine in this work is how religious awareness becomes an expression in artistic experience. How do you achieve work results related to the expression of creative experiences that foster religious awareness? And what elements can the expression of religious awareness through the expression of artistic experiences be interpreted in the work of art "Between Me and Life"? The method of creation in my work is the beginning to try to realize a form of expression based on personal experiences, such as deconstructing the shape and deformation of objects, so that in the end, I can find a form of action in the creative process that I will use for this final assignment. My idea of working on this final assignment is an act of my work as an effort to establish closer religious relations.
