With "Untitled" (2021), Tove Storch initiates a large casting experiment. A large construction holds a thin, flexible metal shell from collapsing, while a pink-colored concrete mass forces it out of its stringent form. Pulled in opposing directions – outward by the structure, inward and downward by the concrete – the folded, rectangular metal shell is transformed into an organic, complex shape that can recall a ship or a feminine symbol.

Storch combines stringent and minimal constructions with a soft, delicate tone. Using industrially manufactured materials such as steel pipes and fabric, she works with their different properties and embedded potential meanings in a restrained and sensitive formal language, where abstraction and figuration meet.

At the core of the work is a physical experiment: a yielding mold, held in place only by a gigantic structure, resists the weight of concrete. Forces struggle visibly before suddenly solidifying. At the same time, forces, materials, colors, and events are charged with meaning, opening a discussion of what is shaping what.

"Untitled" (2021) can be seen as an early work in relation to "Untitled (The Ship)" (2024), shown at Storch’s solo exhibition "Slumping" at Gammel Strand in Copenhagen. It also relates to her recent large public commission "The Ship" (2025), a seventeen-meter-long concrete sculpture extending along Enghavevej in Copenhagen.
