<p style="text-align: left;">I&#39;m fascinated by Korean artist <a href="http://www.jeongmeeyoon.com/" target="_self">JeongMee Yoon</a>&#39;s Pink and Blue project, where she arranges a child&#39;s possesions around them. Two things are striking -- the sheer volume of stuff that even the smallest of children accumulate and the vast amounts of pink or blue things boys and girls have. Sometimes you can&#39;t even find the kids -- they&#39;re literally swallowed by their possesions.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The artist&#39;s statement <a href="http://www.jeongmeeyoon.com/texts_041.htm" target="_self">explains it all</a>.</p>
