The Compliment Bell

The Compliment Bell is a project born from a desire to bring people closer in a time of division. With ongoing political tensions, war, and growing societal separation, we are losing touch with empathy, friendship, and shared understanding.

‍

This doorbell doesn’t just alert someone inside that a visitor is at the door—it also offers the visitor something in return: a randomly selected compliment. Each time the button is pressed, a new message is shared, making the person ringing the bell feel seen and valued.

‍

By turning a small everyday gesture into a moment of connection, The Compliment Bell hopes to spark kindness and remind us of our shared humanity—one ring at a time.
