"The dark exteriors of Portals give no hint of their startling interiors, and the experience of gazing upon these brave new worlds is literally magnified by the lenses ground into their flat tops. Portals seem especially intimate and accessible, inviting the eye in for a closer look at the lushness of their interior life. Their inky, opaque exteriors are suggestive, too, of dark swirling oceans, hiding bright and exotic sea life within."
