Because to do otherwise is to become rotted meat, and at that point, why do anything? He must find a way to become so disgusted in the taint of the outside world on him that is becomes his only need to remove the filth. Apathy is filth, hopelessness is filth. They are not part of the sculptor nor the statue, they are parasites, and he must recognize this.
