RYAN LEE Gallery is pleased to announce Counting, Accounting, Recounting, an exhibition by the artist, writer, and filmmaker Mariam Ghani (b. 1978). Centering around Ghani’s short film There’s a Hole in the World Where You Used to Be (2024) with accompanying sculptures, the works in this exhibition translate the process of mourning people and places into tangible form as the artist seeks to account for loss and reckon with impermanence. By weaving together personal artifacts with cultural iconography, Ghani’s work engages with the ways in which grief, absence, and the passage of time inform our perceptions of the world around us. Ghani says, “There’s a Hole in the World Where You Used to Be is concerned with the way grief can feel simultaneously personal and political, individual and collective; each absence felt as both a wound in the heart and a hole in the world.”
