In She Brings Back The Daylight, Tine Vandamme uses the figure of the naked woman to symbolize the transition from night to day, blending intimacy with renewal. The woman, who was present the night before, brings morning tea or coffee — an act that connects the cycles of time, presence, and awakening. Her nudity suggests vulnerability and closeness, transforming the simple act of sharing a meal into a gesture of quiet power. But why are there 3 cups ?

This piece resonates with the idea that daylight isn’t just the physical rising of the sun, but a return of connection and warmth. As the darkness of night fades, she brings both literal and metaphorical light, symbolizing the fresh potential of the new day and the comfort found in intimate rituals.
