Carrom is a traditional Indian board game with a design that includes a compass in the middle where the seeds are arranged to be hit by the striker when flicking it. The artist redesigned the board in wood veneer, first to fit within the proportion of the moon (represented by the compass in the centre) to the earth (represented by the whole board); and second, by using maps of the ocean from Piri Reis’s 16th century manuscript ‘Book of Navigation’. In this, he mapped all the places he explored, as well as explaining in a poetic language the knowledge and tools that a sailor needs when he’s in the heart of the ocean. The game of Carrom requires understanding angles, motion, distance and tactics, aspects that one needs to learn while travelling across seas, a journey that has been used as a symbol for self-discovery in much of literature.

Part of the artist's series inspired by 'The Transcendent Philosophy of the Four Journeys of the Intellect', a compendium of Islamic philosophy written by the 17th century Islamic scholar Mulla Sadra.
