This sculpture is entitled "Ultima Oportunidad para Ti Madre" or"Last chance for your mother". The piece was unveiled 7/2/1999 and is by Oscar Ortega. The work is set high above street level on a concrete post...it features several rectangular shapes jutting out as if to resemble a cityscape. Much of the sculpture is covered with tiles and mosaics. From one side, an image of a woman is seen and a large metal hand juts out horizontally from one of the rectangles above her head. Another hand-like object is set on a metal post like a weathervane. On the opposite side, there are images of another woman (younger) and two men. We also see a shoed foot being grasped by a thumb and some flowers.
