Shoebox Living - an exhibition by Kids Company

"This is my meditation room, and I am meditating and there's an angel with some wings on the wall," says the young artist who created this room. "There is a huge cross that I take to church." Photograph: PR

"I'm banned from playing out because my cousin was arrested. It made me very angry that he was arrested. He was arrested for fighting. We can play with our Playstations." Photograph: PR

"I have two sisters and two brothers and my mum is pregnant. This is the kitchen and that's all my family in one room." Photograph: PR

"This is my old bedroom and I did this to remember it. I had a dog, but dad hit it and its eye got really red." Photograph: PR

"This is the room I share with my two cousins and my two dogs. One's a Staff and the other is a Bulldog. The dogs protect you from danger. I've put curtains to keep you away from bugs and insects." Photograph: PR

"The snake is not skinny, it's a little bit fat. This fish is getting fat. The fish is hungry. The fish in my house is dead." Photograph: PR

"This is my bedroom and this is my auntie on the bottom bunk. She's not my real auntie, she's my cousin, but I call her my auntie because she is older than me. This is my cousin on the top bunk. This is my other cousin on the bed and this is me and my sister in the other bed because we share a bed." Photograph: PR

"I sleep on the floor. I am watching my baby brother so he doesn't fall out of bed. I cook his food. My mum is not lazy she is just teaching me. I like sleeping on the floor anyway. I made the rice for us, and if my mum goes out I change my brother's nappy." Photograph: PR

"My room has a nice bed with fluffy pillows on it and the cupboard is nice and woody. I have nice posters in my room and a big TV. Sometimes it is annoying that the rats poo inside my house – I like the floor because it is nice with the carpet on. I like the colour of the walls and the way the light is. I have a collection of nice and different-coloured marbles and they are on the wall." Photograph: PR

"This is me and my brother. My mum is in the photos on the wall. My dad is not in the photos because he is dead. He died in 2006." Photograph: PR

"I like my woollen carpet and I like my computer, but the mouse makes eggs inside the house. Sometimes I feed the rats, although they keep coming and coming. Sometimes I find them and give them a comfortable place. I have marbles around the whole house. Near my TV I have some wonderful stuff, but there's poo so I just clean it as quick as I can. Sometimes they run away from my brother because he is tall. I am not afraid of the rats." Photograph: PR
