Story highlights Children and their bedrooms are shown in the photo series "Where Children Sleep"The 56 diverse photos portray a world of poverty and privilege(CNN) A child's bedroom often expresses their identity. But for some children around the world, their bedroom is no more than a mat outside or a collection of old sheets, tires and trash on a dirt floor. "I did not anticipate that 'Where Children Sleep' would be so successful," said Mollison, who is based in Venice, Italy.

Mollison chose a neutral background because he wanted to provide a sense of equality for all the kids.
