"When photographer James Mollison was asked to do a project on children’s rights, he found himself thinking back to his childhood bedroom and the deep importance it played in his upbringing. Taking that idea with him around the world, he photographed a diverse cross section of children and the bedrooms they call home. His moving images remove the children from their home environment, showing them before a neutral background that mostly hides their economic status as if to say “kids are just kids.” Only when their bedroom is observed, however, does the full scope of their living situation become poiniently clear."
I found this article very interesting. Growing up I had a pink barbie room covered in... well yeah, BARBIE. I even had a life size barbie painted on my wall, along with every possible item in my room barbie themed. My brother had his Harry potter themed with a bigger than life size Harry Potter painted on his wall, it was pretty cool, as well as everything themed Harry. I must say if I had to pick a room at the age I am now, 17 I would definitely have gone with my brother's, not because I'm a die hard Harry Potter fan but because it looked like barbie had vomited everywhere - yeah too much.
