We have a few remaining prints available from our 2022 collaborative show with Maison Kitsuné which was hosted by Galerie Kitsuné in Brooklyn.

To know is to hate not knowing. To know one small thing is to forever desire to know many great things. To know is to see clearly, and to be unable to look away. To know is to be tortured by a lie. To know is to bear the terrible burden of truth. To know is to be the herald of things to come, in prosperity or disaster. To know is to have a choice—in ignorance there is no choosing. To know is to be free. And so you must know. A lifetime of learning is not enough, but it’s all that you’ll get. Use every second.

GFDA is the bearer of messages from your own heart. What we say is nothing new, we simply put things in a way that you can’t ignore.

From truth, purpose; from purpose, fulfillment. The truth is that this life is a struggle, it’s a contest. Your purpose is to use up every bit of your potential participating in life. You are called to face a challenge. Accept it with dignity. From contending—perhaps to be injured, certain to be hurt—you will find a respect for yourself that can be attained nowhere else. From enduring the struggle, you will learn the true value of compassion and a proper use of your power.

These things cannot be given, they must be earned. We offer you this, and nothing more: the light of old wisdom to guide your steps, and the fruits of our experience to nourish you on your journey.

Happiness isn’t a reward. Strength isn’t gained without effort. Love isn’t something you get from someone else. Life is made bearable in the bearing of it. The meaning of life reveals itself when you stop looking for it and start living with sincerity. Fulfillment will come at last when you have given all that you have.

We want that for you.
