The author began his research by studying the beliefs and religions of Thailand, holy objects, as well as mysterious stories that have encouraged believers positively since the past until the present. Modern times that proceed according to the principles of science and reason have a huge impact on how people live their lives, resulting in the fact that the value of beliefs.and.faith.as.a.means.of.mental.fulfillment.becomes.easily.overlooked.and.
is increasingly seen as superstitious. Sometimes alone cannot completely fulfill people’s
emotional state. Because of the problems around us, humans feel unable to control their own destiny. That is why they feel the need to rely on beliefs in the hope that it will serve them as an encouragement in their lives. All this information will be analyzed by the author to develop a conceptual framework. The means and process of installation art creation result in a body of knowledge on the issue of the value and mystery of faith through the art of installation.
