“Eternal Flight” BY ARTIST LORI BETZ

Eternal Flight
Medium: Bronze
Commissioned by: Houston Ballet Eternal Flight captures a moment of profound intimacy and grace, portraying two ballet soloists in a mirrored swan pose. Sculpted in bronze, the dancers’ forms are frozen in motion—elegant, poised, and entwined in a delicate balance of strength and vulnerability. The sculpture explores the theme of love—not just as romance, but as connection, trust, and the unspoken dialogue between two souls in harmony. The swan pose, known for its fluidity and emotional depth, becomes a symbol of that shared flight: two individuals soaring together, yet never losing themselves in the other. With the timeless strength of bronze and the ephemeral beauty of dance, Eternal Flight pays tribute to the Houston Ballet’s legacy of artistry and passion, and to love in all its quiet, powerful forms.   Sculpture of Peter Franc and Nao Kusuzaki of the Houston Ballet.The Choreography was created with the help of Stanton Walsh, Artistic Director of the Houston Ballet. Mr Walsh was kind enough to direct the dancers in various poses and dance moves in the search to find the right balance between classical ballet and the emotional aspects of telling a story through movement. This is something that Stanton Walsh does very well and I believe that I captured it in this pose, and with these two amazing dancers.
