Peleg Matityahu
Peleg Matityahu is an Israeli jewellery designer and goldsmith, having graduated in 2021 from Shenkar College of Art, Design, and Engineering in Ramat-Gan, Israel.
Her work is rooted in personal experience, particularly the loss of short-term memory following a head injury. This condition, known as Amnesia, inspired the Memory Holder series. In her pieces, Matityahu explores memory and its restoration, using materials that can be disassembled and reassembled intuitively. Through a laborious process of threading chains through plaster strips, she creates tactile, delicate yet durable works that symbolize the flow of memory, filling in the gaps to form a new, cohesive whole. Peleg’s jewellery represents both the conscious and subconscious processes of recovery, from oblivion to the creation of new memories.
