Animal desire stems primarily from basic survival and reproduction, while animality is alienated in man as desire continues to expand. The material technique of mural painting carries a sense of vicissitudes, and the friction inherent in the language of painting purges away some of the initial impulses, allowing for a more rational expression overall. Wang Ximin excels in portraying the human beast-like flux, while retaining the beauty of life. The 'fragments' of classical frescoes blur time, while giving room for imaginative extension, using metaphor to explore eternal humanity.
