Artist Reply: The Cherry represents how we eat to indulge our sensation for taste. The libation represents how we indulge in alchohol to alter our perceptions of reality. The Cigar represents indulgences in inhaling smoke as a further addiction. The last indulgence is the carnal appetite for the flesh, represented by the figure of a beautiful woman.
