korean artist jeongmee yoon’s ‘pink and blue project’ was inspired by her daughter. she would only wear pink and buy pink toys. she found this to be a common theme in korea, the us and around the world. when photographing girl’s in their world of pink, she realized that boys shared the same phenomenon except in a different hue: blue. the objects are arranged in the child’s room and photographed in a square format. jeongmee yoon was born in seoul and lives in new york.

That’s really cool…and quite interesting. I’m almost positive that girls and boys are not born with a love for pink or blue.
When all of their toys come that way - they tend to gravitate and associate pink with girly and blue with yucky boys.
I don’t have a boy, but I can tell you that my daughter loves the color pink and purple!
