This study aimed to investigate the meaning of the performance experience of the Bird's Nest Drawing(BND) in the shelter youths by applying the hermeneutic phenomenological method proposed by van Manen. The participants of this study were a total of 10 adolescents including boys and girls in a youth shelter. The data were collected from March to May, 2015, through the BND performed by the participants and the interviews. Various meaning units of their experiences stated by them were recorded, and repeated data were classified into groups by reading transcription data in order to identify the structure of meaning. As a result, 5 essential themes and 13 sub-themes were derived. The essential themes included 'drawing a picture without refusing to perform it,' 'talking about the life of the birds living in the bird's nest,' 'looking at me in real life through the life of birds,' 'revealing a painful piece of my history,' and 'making a commitment to live a new life in the future.' The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, the shelter youths created BND and constructed stories freely without inhibition. Second, through the BND constructed stories, they revealed the themes related to abandonment, danger, anxiety, and abuse that they had to experience due to the family conflict or parental divorce. Third, they linked a space called Bird's Nest with their living space, Fourth, study results indicated that the youths came to have a new perception about protection, safety, and care and were experiencing the process of healing through the theme of the bird's nest.
