Talented photographer Jean-Baptiste Courtier has created an imaginatively surreal series entitled 'Elephant Rose.' In these bizarre shots, a blonde woman goes for walks and picks up some groceries, all the while being followed by an inflatable pink elephant.
This humorously surreal series was inspired by the idea that one can't think about a pink elephant without actually imagining one. While looking at these photos, viewers are meant be wondering whether or not this bubblegum colored elephant is supposed to be in the mind of the woman.
Jean-Baptiste Courtier turns these otherwise serene and almost sad photographs into hard to ignore images, and all by incorporating a giant inflatable elephant. These dream-like shots will have viewers picturing pink elephants the next time they go grocery shopping.
