Examples of a doppelganger?

I have an art project were a need to create artwork that represents doppelganger

My idea was drawing to women side by side one would represent the sun and the other would represent the moon .The moon and sun both are round and they both emit light .But one creates light and the other comes out only when there is darkness.Does that make a good example?Examples of a doppelganger?
A Doppelganger ("double walker" in German) is a double or second-self. In literature, dream analysis, or archetypal symbolism, the Doppelganger is often figured as a twin, shadow, or mirror-image of the protagonist. The Doppelganger characteristically appears as identical to (or closely resembling) the protagonist; sometimes the protagonist and Doppelganger have the same name.

Prominent literary examples of Doppelgangers include Poe's "William Wilson," Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde," Conrad's "The Secret Sharer," and the novel and movie "The Fight Club." Doppelgangers frequently appear in popular culture, including "evil twins" in soap operas, Captain Picard's double in Star Trek, and Phoebe's twin sister Ursula on Friends.
