This was taken in an small village in Mexico. Next to the sea, a large outcropping was made accessible with a paved path, allowing people to stroll through. One of the walls had this message: Dirty places don't exist .. we make them. I suppose the writer means to say that dirty places don't exist naturally. The graffiti was limited to man-made structures leaving the surrounding nature unscathed. I had some idea of what this meant - the word existe evokes a philosophical ideology that made the message seem somehow profound - text found in the absence of any other linguistic message becomes that much more profound. It's the presence of text in a place where you expect to find none that inspired me to take this photo, the linguistic message was secondary in its importance.
