JeongMee Yoon's "Pink and Blue" Project

By Billy Kung

To my own surprise, I did not know that prior to World War II the color pink was associated with masculinity. Upon reading and viewing Korean photographer JeongMee Yoon's photographs from her "Pink and Blue" project, an ongoing series she began in 2005, I began to wonder what else we have failed to question and have come to accept so readily.
