Does "an experience of the subject" in the following text mean "an experience experienced by (belonging to) the subject i.e the subject experiencing things"?

Text:
In a chapter in Playing and Reality ‘The Use of an Object and Relating Through Identifications’, first published in 1971, Winnicott puts forward a much more dynamic account of the transitional object in terms of the relation between creativity and destruction. In everyday parlance, we take for granted what we mean by ‘the use of an object’. However, Winnicott makes a distinction between object-relating and object-use that is valuable for thinking about art practice. He states that ‘[o]bject-relating is an experience of the subject that can be described in terms of the subject as an isolate’ rather than merged in self-containment with the motherenvironment. In this intersubjective relation, which is characterised by projection and introjection, ‘the subject is depleted to the extent that something of the subject is found in the object, though enriched by feeling’ (Art and Psychoanalysis by Maria Walsh).
