Sectarianism, a haunting specter that has plagued societies throughout history, continues to cast its dark shadow on the world. From the towering Loyalist mural in Northern Ireland to the remnants of The Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland, these visual reminders serve as stark testaments to the deep-rooted divisions that have torn communities apart. Intriguingly captured within an engraving of the brothers Coligny from the 16th century, we witness how sectarianism transcends time and geography. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder that this destructive force knows no boundaries and can infiltrate even familial bonds. Fast forward to more recent times, where members of Dail Eireann - the Sinn Fein Parliament - stand united yet divided by their own political ideologies. Their presence highlights both hope for reconciliation and lingering tensions fueled by sectarian differences. Artistic expressions also bear witness to sectarian strife. "The Confiscation of the Contents of a Painter's Studio" depicts not only physical confiscation but also symbolizes how creativity becomes collateral damage when sectarian flames engulf society. Across oceans and centuries later, we are confronted with another chapter stained by sectarian violence: The Burning of Old South Church in Bath, Maine. A chilling reminder that such conflicts are not confined to any one region or era; they can erupt anywhere at any time if left unaddressed. Even royalty is not immune from its clutches. In "Flight of Queen James II, " we see how power struggles rooted in religious divides forced monarchs into exile—a testament to how deeply ingrained they are be within societal structures. As we reflect upon these images captured by EyeUbiquitous photographers—each frame telling its own story—we must confront our collective responsibility in combating this divisive force. Only through understanding, empathy, and dialogue can we hope to dismantle barriers erected by centuries-old animosities.
