Salome
Listen to the description
This sculpture was made for and belongs to the coffee bar “BLUE”, in Xanthi.
It is called Salome and in the shadow is depicted a female body in dancing figures. So I’m talking about the power of the female body. That’s why she doesn’t have a face.
I’m not talking about a woman’s personality. I’m referring to the power of women’s curves and her “toys”. The title refers to the story of Salome who managed to convince Herod to bring her the head of Ioannis the Baptist on a plate (if you observe the sculpture up close you will also see this particular moment).
The original design (of the shade) is not mine. I found it online and decided to use it. I looked for its creator to get his license, but I couldn’t find him…
Listen to the poem
Salome
View of a well shapely female body.
Locked in a house.
Prisoner in her soul and body.
Doomed to be beautiful and attractive.
Unable to escape.
But,so powerful to melt the opposite sex.
Left to a rather false pleasure.
And John’s head on the plate, fills the gaps of the wild soul…
Ask for something else Salome…
