Closeness to the Land(en)
In 2020, just as the pandemic was beginning, Gazala purchased land in western Ohio, on which sits a disused school building.

Closeness to the Land is video footage of hand-painted text signs that translate the word الأرض (ard) into six English words, displayed performatively in multiple locations to capture the now-invisible nature of indigenous culture in Ohio. These signs were installed on the old schoolhouse in early 2021.
