Three Kettles was a research-driven exploration of human-machine interactions, focusing on the boundaries between utility, behavior, and ritual. Each kettle served as an experiment—a conversation between human intention and machine agency—inviting us to rethink the ways we interact with everyday objects.

This investigation revealed how subtle design choices shape our relationships with technology, from functional reliance to emotional engagement. The findings became the foundation for my graduation project, Alexa, Pass the Salt, where I further questioned how machines mediate human behaviors and interactions in domestic spaces.
