Three Of Us - Sinusoid
Thoughts On: Three of Us (2022)
A mother facing early on-set dementia returns to her childhood home.
Three of Us is a melancholic exploration of memory and individuality that depicts the human self much like a wave rippling across a vast unknown body of water. Through its melancholy it reveals the soul to be made up of absence inasmuch as what it possesses and is capable of; the propagating wave of our existential being a composition of troughs and valleys of equal measure to its peaks and spires. So though the origin and impacts upon time and space that our bodies recognise as our life force are naturally lost below the surface of the waters we skate upon as a consequence of their happening, we retain their essence as a lost seed of origination, at once what we are and what we are not; what we have and lose; what we know and never come to see and understand; what we experience and nurture, and what we yearn for in regret and sorrow. Deeply thought-provoking in its patience with an enclosing mystic landscape and delicate performances, Three of Us intricately defines the self as a trinity just such: origination, presence and absence.
