Pictures from Home draws from a collection of 2000 photographs and short videos gathered by Herster of the past two years. These documents, which were taken by U.S. attorneys for the purpose of building trusting relationships with their detainee-clients, portray Guantánamo detainees from Yemen, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain through imagery of their homes, families, neighborhoods and old snapshots that show their faces. Narrative texts derived from interviews with the U.S. attorneys who contributed these pictures and videos relay stories that have passed through the walls of Guantánamo
