“Why the Bush Does Not Burn Up” expresses the curiosity to the presence of God, and what drastic change it can have in a fallen world. The painting shows a figure in the outskirts of a post-apocalyptic world finding a strange burning bush. The harsh contrast between the blue world and the bright orange bush signifies that the bush is not of this world, creating a sense of astonishment and curiosity in the figure. There is a blend between realism and cartoon aesthetics in the artwork, allowing the figure to look at home compared to the realistic environment. The quote written at the front comes from Exodus 3:2, where Moses encounters the burning bush in the wilderness. The original artwork is made on paper, which is them placed on a wooden board.
