Karuna Stories Assets-01

An editorial publication for Karuna Stories, an initiative by The Olive Ridley Collective that emerged in the aftermath of the first wave of COVID-19. Created through an open call for stories of compassion, courage, and hope, the project brought together diverse voices reflecting on life during the pandemic from multiple perspectives.

Following the completion of the anthology - where Studio Eksaat co-founder Samira Gupta served on the jury - the publication was designed as a thoughtful and enduring archive of a remarkable moment in history. Inspired by the Sanskrit concept of karuna (compassion), the editorial design employs restrained typography, generous white space, and a quiet visual language that allows each story to resonate with clarity and dignity. Together, the collection offers a deeply human record of resilience that remains relevant today.
