Manifest Destiny was a series of 3, and will be larger in time, devoted to the dichotomy between time as a construct of what is made by man's hand and what is destined to come together in one moment. In 2012, the man made event of time in and of itself, the calendar, the keeping of time, is shown against the destiny of time in and of itself as a cycle of nature. For the Mayans, 2012 was the end of the old calendar and beginning of the new, and the 2 black circles on each end are the star charts for the center of our galaxy 26000 years ago(on the left), and december 21, 2012(on the right). The center circle shows the natal chart for that date, showing what will be born of this chaos, along with the mayan symbol for this date of their calendar.
