Entitled "La Nostalgia” (“Nostalgia”), this piece by artist by Ramiz Barquet and is dated 1984. This website (visit link) describes the intersting story of the work:

"One of the most popular sculptures in town, Barquet’s “Nostalgia” is a tribute to his relationship with his wife, the painter Nelly Barquet. The two planned to marry when they were young, but they lost touch, married other people, and each had children. After twenty-seven years, Ramiz and Nelly finally met again in Mexico and married. The sculpture depicts the silhouettes of two people sitting side-by-side and looking in the same direction toward the city."
