踏み夢-Fumiyume-

is a tactile sculptural object designed with the intention of keeping minds awake and away from dreaming. People’s dreams, both in the context of sleep and ambition, are free-flowing and imaginative with no restrictions or rules. However, this can become problematic when trying to govern societies according to an individual's ideal state. Each ceramic point symbolizes one's glorious dreams, and the act of stepping on the board represents the denial of dreaming both physically and mentally.

Originating from the coined word 'Dreamanipulation,'

Fumi-yume stimulates pressure points on the soles of human feet in a kindly-painful manner, preventing one from exploring beyond their minds and reining them back into a 'desired' reality: a world where people don't dream, question, or know.
