Portal


Human beings found this beautiful sea star off the antarctic. They've been living in the quiet (dark, Eileen, dark) deep all this time, and we've been living up here close to the sun. Parallel worlds, and the portal: Marine Science.

Our astonishment stems from our illusion of knowledge, we think we Know. But what of this sea star's internal life? and the weight upon her? and the evolutionary pressure to be so beautiful?
