The sculptures thus become resonating bodies that produce a scale ranging from the low tones of the pelvic diaphragm to the high tones of the head. The vibrations of the tones set the water surface in motion. These fluid choreographies culminate in a polyphonic vocal composition that merges the visible waves with the sound space in the monastery church. Hesitant and serious, the voices pass through various emotional and evolutionary states. The breath of the pre-human verses multiplies in the polyphony, surpassing the youthful lamentations and ghostly cries, the heaviness of the sonic obscenities and the lightness of the premonitions.

Dâmaso's installation draws on spiritual tradition, including the work of Mechthild of Magdeburg (c. 1207–1282). In her magnum opus “The Flowing Light of Divinity”, she develops a metaphor of flow that connects body, space and transcendence. For Our Flowing Voices; I Amphorae creates a connection between the physical flow of voices, the material resonances of the sculptures, and the historical site, which enters into the poetic exploration of flowing knowledge.

Lara Dâmaso's work spans ephemeral and permanent forms, taking shape through the mediums of performance, sound, video, sewing, sculpture, photography and text. Dâmaso’s practice focuses on the sensitive and vibratory dialogue between humans and the space they inhabit. She delves into the interconnectedness of the tangible and intangible, exploring the direct relationship between the movement of the voice and that of the body. This connection aims to establish a direct and emotional form of communication. Her approach is based on the concept of listening as total presence, essential to activating such a dialogue. Transformation, the plurality of the self, fluidity and interdependence, as consequences of this exchange, lie at the very core of her creative process.
