Presence

Apples symbolize not just love and desire, but also fertility and the idea of bearing fruit. Lace gloves, stockings, and similar clothing items represent society's perception of female sensuality, showing how society influences and controls women's bodily functions and appearances. This also forces the audience to confront the contradiction of whether they are "peeping," much like what Foucault referred to as the "seductiveness of sexual discourse": power maintains its network by making us talk about sex (even under the guise of criticism).
