It’s often unsettling and disturbing seeing how people in different income brackets live, but even more so when you’re looking at kids – those whose parents are on the breadline, and those whose parents spend $1000 a month on dresses alone.
But this project Where Children Sleep by James Mollison is stunning and stark, and presents a portrait of a child or adolescent from around the world along with a picture of their bedrooms.
The series is currently available as a photo essay and book.
