This paper aims to focus on the theme ‘island’ as an isolated piece of land in relation to psychology and creativity. It aims to analyze the idea of island, as a water surrounded piece of land, where water can be considered as a binder of feelings and thoughts.As a strong and unpredictable element, water shaped the art making besides many things. By asking questions and giving examples with sociological, psychological,artistic references and correspondences, this paper will try to examine the idea of island and isolation in relation to creativity. I will select a term of Carl Jung as a baseline and ask if it’s possible to talk about the creativity under the light of Jung’s collective unconsciousness theory; Can we make a connection between isolation and creativity through the island as a metaphor? If this theory is right and we have a common pool of archetypes and instincts how do these effect creativity, how does it work? Does distance or isolation effect creativity or art making? Can we talk about the benefits of isolation to creativity or vice versa?
(When we say distance, does it just refer to a physical concept? If we accept the body as the place for existence, can a distance between the body and mind be created or does it already occur?)
