A Meaningful Collaboration

Meet Jasmyn Ihanimo

In 2026, the PFL collaborated with Jasmyn Ihanimo, the artist behind Jasmyn Cloe Art. A proud young Yamatji and Yued Noongar woman, Jas shared that her mother’s family is from Geraldton (Whitby) and Moora (Narrier), while her father’s family is from Goroka in Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands Province.

Beyond her artwork, Jas is also part of the PFL community on the field, taking the field for Piara Waters Football Club in their women’s side.

Jas titled the artwork Connected Through Footy, drawing inspiration from the PFL’s new strategic plan, which places a strong focus on inclusion and connection across the communit

Connected Through Footy, by Jasmyn Ihanimo

The central group of the artwork represents the Perth Football League (PFL). Surrounding this core are figures symbolising the many people who bring the League to life—players, umpires, staff, volunteers, sponsors, and the wider community. Branching from the main pathway are grouped elements that represent the individual clubs within the PFL. These pathways highlight the League’s commitment to building stronger communities through football, and the deep connections formed between clubs and the League itself. Along the coastline, the smaller pathways depict the journeys clubs take each week—travelling to games, creating memories, celebrating wins, learning from losses, and most importantly, staying united. These pathways also reflect the welcoming of new players, the sense of belonging that clubs foster, and the shared experiences that strengthen community bonds. The groups positioned around the artwork represent the many clubs and teams across the Perth region. The people surrounding these groups embody the players, volunteers, supporters, committee members, and others who contribute to each club’s identity. The groups positioned around the artwork represent clubs across the region—from the coast to the hills Three interconnected groups symbolise the multi-generational nature of football within the PFL— honouring families who share the game across generations: mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, siblings, cousins, and relatives who play side by side. Handprints and footprints woven throughout the piece pay tribute to those who have left a lasting legacy on the League—trailblazers, changemakers, life members, and individuals whose contributions continue to shape the PFL. The artwork also acknowledges that football in Perth is played on Whadjuk Noongar Country—on the land and under the sky. The hills and waterways represent this Country and the deep connection between the game, the land, and the natural elements of Western Australia. The green hills and dot work reflect the flora and natural landscape of Perth. The colour palette draws inspiration from the land itself—the coastline, the hills, and the natural environment—while the main pathway colours are influenced by the Perth Football League.
