Inspired by childhood’s pure, unfettered joy, Fraiman’s latest series bursts with passion, boldness, and innocence. While watching his granddaughters at play, Fraiman was captivated by the authentic emotions they exuded—each moment a celebration of life’s simplest pleasures. This experience compelled him to create works that invite viewers to reconnect with their inner child.

In this new series, young children are portrayed interacting with oversized silver balloons, a whimsical element that transforms the familiar into something magical. The playful imagery evokes an atmosphere of innocent wonder and channels a deep passion and fearless approach to life.

Titled Innocence, the series explores the intricate duality of our emotional landscape: the adult’s wistful longing for the unadulterated joy of childhood set against the backdrop of an equally vital need for emotional maturity. As you immerse yourself in the vibrant scenes of carefree play, you simultaneously encounter a reflection of your adult self—caught in the delicate balance between carefree amusement and the responsibilities that come with growing up.
