Salome by Mariano Vargas

Salomè by Mariano Vargas (www.thebcompany.net)

Salome has become a symbol for dangerous female seductiveness. 
Her dance before Herod, or with the head of John the Baptist on a charger have provided inspiration for Christian artists and for contemporary artists too like Mariano Vargas.
A new ramification was added by Oscar Wilde, who in his play Salome portrayed her as something of a femme fatale. This last interpretation has made even more memorable by Richard Strauss's opera and the dance of the seven veils (wonderful dance!). Mariano Vargas represents Salome with a nowadays bad hero: Darth Vader (those days I use to post many photos with Star Wars character, I know!). I think this is a original way to represents Salome. 
Good idea!
