Once a bustling hub of community, the chippy now stands as a silent testament to the changing times. In "Head Down to the Chippy," I capture the stark contrast between the past, where neighbours would gather to share news and laughter, and the present, where individuals are isolated in their digital worlds. The once-familiar queue, once filled with the sounds of chatter and shared experiences, is now a silent procession of individuals engrossed in their smartphones. This painting is a reflection on how technology has transformed our interactions, replacing genuine human connection with the superficiality of online engagement.
