Summary

The quote highlights the artist's desire for solitude while creating art. By "building a wall" between themselves and the model, they create a barrier that allows them to focus solely on their work without the interference of external stimuli. This separation is necessary to ensure their thoughts and concentration are not disrupted or swayed by the model's words, which could potentially hinder their artistic process.
