Origin and Destiny - Puerta Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The sculpture has both realistic and abstract features. A whale and chimera are figuratively represented..as is part of a boat. The website quoted below discusses one of the elements representing a horse and snake...but the poster of this Waymark could not discern that.
This website (visit link) has additional photos (about 3/4 of the way down) and informs us:

"The second to last and newest art work on the principal downtown Malecon is Origin and Destiny ...
which is actually five thematic pieces in one display, by local Puerto Vallarta artist Pedro Tello.
Here's how these new Puerto Vallarta attractions are described
in part on another local site, Statues on Puerto Vallarta's Malecon:
"The sculptures represent the beginnings of man, music, time and knowledge.
The boat represents man's quest for new horizons...a chimera signifies man's unity with reptiles, birds and marine animals....
The horse sculpture, signifying the passage of time... A serpent entwined in the legs of the horse signifies knowledge.
The whale is mankind emerging into the new millennium. And the wheel signifies technology and science of mankind.....
The final sculpture is an obelisk, representing the spirituality of man.....'"
