Inbar Haiman

From Petah Tikva, Inbar was the daughter of Yifat and Haim Haiman, and sister to Ido.

She studied at Ehad Ha’am High School in her hometown. As a teenager, she was both a participant and counselor at Beit HaYotzrim in Petah Tikva, part of the Tarbut (Culture) youth movement. Through her involvement in the movement, she completed a year of national service in Jerusalem, mentoring creative youth at the Keshet school and around the city.

Inbar was a Visual Communication student at WIZO Haifa Academy and had been living in Haifa in recent years.

She was a graffiti artist who signed her work under the name “pink.” In a field typically dominated by men, Inbar stood out as a trailblazing female street artist in Israel—perhaps the only one. She chose the name as a symbol of femininity, and also out of admiration for the band Pink Floyd, which deeply inspired her both artistically and personally.

Inbar was full of love and generosity—a ray of light everywhere she went.
Her mother, Yifat, said Inbar always saw the light and color in people, lived a life of endless giving, and touched the hearts of people from all backgrounds.

On Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023, Inbar was at the Nova festival, volunteering as an emotional support guide (“helper”) for anyone feeling unwell. She was also there to sell her art.

She had planned to go to a football match with her partner after the festival and then continue on to a vacation in Sinai. When the brutal attack began, Inbar tried to flee on foot with two others but was captured by Hamas terrorists riding motorcycles and taken to Gaza.

For weeks, her family and friends fought for her return. Several tributes were held in her honor across Israel and the world.

On Saturday, December 16, it was officially confirmed that Inbar had been murdered in Hamas captivity. She was just 27 years old.
As of this writing, her body is still being held by the terrorists.

May her memory be a blessing.
