Anathema is a costume exploration inspired by witches oppressed during the North Berwick witch trials in 1590s Scotland, with a transition into a fantasy setting. Centred around three witches, each of their initial costumes restricts them in some way, either through weight, impracticality, or tension. Contrasting to their final costumes which abandon these constraints and signify their transformation from oppression to free and empowered people.
