About Us

AWE STUDIOS, founded by two artists living in Cape Town, is a collaboration in capturing and creating art from the world around and within us.

Our work approaches landscape not as background or scenery, but as a living archive - a place where matter holds traces of time, memory, presence, erosion, shelter, decay and transformation.

Through photography, painting, and digital media we explore the entanglement of psyche and place: the way inner landscapes and outer
terrains reflect, disturb, and reshape one another.

The images move between observation and imagination. Roots become nervous systems, rock surfaces read as skin or language, water acts as both mirror and void, and rooms retain the emotional residue of those who have passed through them. Small forms expand into vast worlds, while landscapes become intimate and bodily.

We invite you to look slowly, notice correspondences, and sense the fragile interdependence between our human experience and the more-than-human world.

Yours in AWE of the world around us and within us,

Ilhaam Stoloff and Sara Wibberley
