Diary of Anne Frank was a dance that consisted of several parts. In the beginning the ensemble represented the forces that confined Anne, limited her space. I was inspired by the images of old, cracked stone walls in the designing of those costumes, and the same motives were repeated in images of cemetery structures, the Holocaust memorials. Some of those images you can see in the top row. Other than Anne, one girl had a special role, in the dance, and her part represented the Diary of Anne Frank. Her costume reflected that. The final part of the dance was envisioned to convey hope that memories of Anne Frank are not forgotten and no girl in the future would experience her fate. There were no costume changes during the performance, so my costumes were designed in the way that all the patterns associated with confinement and limitation disappeared under the special lighting (coordinated with the lighting designer).

The costumes, second and third rows, reflected my ideas. They were dyed several times and handpainted.
