A few children experience childhood in neediness, needing nourishment and sanitation, while others are conceived in nations where essential necessities are underestimated. Photographer James Mollison thought about his childhood bedroom while doing this project and it reflected who he was.
Where Children Sleep – which came up from his ideas is a collection of stories about children from around the world told through portraits of their bedrooms.

When I was a kid, I always whine about why my family is not rich? I am mad because I can't buy the things that I really wanted. But then I realized that I am fortunate enough to live in this world with a neat and air conditioned bedroom, food on my plate every day, clothes, shoes, education etc. We don't know that there are lots of kids in this world that are not so lucky for having these things in their lives but still keep on living and keep on moving forward.
All of them deserve a chance, but some will never get one due to the harsh environments they’re raised in. Those of us who were fortunate in our youth should help everyone have the same opportunities we did when we grew up.
