Wendy was the fifth artist permitted to visit and draw in Guantanamo Bay, where no photography is allowed. In 2019 The New York Times commissioned her to document the culture and character of the 9/11 war court. She spent five days drawing the people in the courtroom, including detainees, the lawyers, aids and the judge. At the end of every day, her drawings had to be reviewed, approved and stamped by the U.S. Military before it could leave the courtroom, and no changes to the drawings were legally permitted after they were stamped.
Wendy wrote and published a first hand account of the physical, psychological and creative challenges entailed in visually documenting inside Guantanamo Bay.
The resulting article was published as a double page spread in The New York Times with a visual excerpt on A1, with text by Carol Rosenberg, and art direction by Alicia Desantis.
