CROWN SHYNESS
"
The phenomenon has been discussed in scientific literature since the 1920s.
Trees need personal space. Trees can seem utterly alien in some ways, but in others, they are not so different from us. While most are happy to rub branches with their neighbors, some are a little more touchy.
These trees, including some eucalyptus and several species of Dryobalanops found in Malaysia and Indonesia, exhibit a phenomenon known as “crown shyness”.
Crown shyness doesn’t happen all the time, and experts aren’t exactly sure why the naturally occurring phenomenon happens, but they’ve been studying it for decades and have a few theories. According to one theory, each tree forces its neighbors into a pattern that maximizes resource collection and minimizes harmful competition. Whether by accident or by design, crown shyness functions as a form of truce between competitors.
with limited options.

Plant species avoid growing toward neighbors, therefore having to compete for light needed for further growth. They also use blue light from the opposite end of the spectrum to avoid growing toward shade. In botany, allelopathy is any effect that one plant transmits to another through the production of different chemical compounds, either causing a positive or negative effect on the other plant. These compounds are the so-called allelochemicals. In other words, plants and trees communicate with each other through chemical signals. This relationship occurs more frequently between trees and plants of the same species, although it also occurs between different species.
This is called the allelopathy Hypothesis.

CONCEPT NOTE
"
Shyness is the feeling of apprehension. There are still many people involved in it. Even nature is following us. Every creature in this world wants to grow in a chain of peace and privacy. Trees are also nothing different. When one goes along with love, protection, integrity, and faith, they can overcome the apprehension and seek fearlessly. In this largest population, when everyone desperately looks for their own space, some shy creatures make it their own. And for being a little shy, they refrain from bothering the neighbors. There are reasons why they build a deeper friendship without conflicting and blaming each other. They need to be little touched where they are unable to speak.

PURPOSE
" The project explores the profound link between nature's responses and how certain groups of people react. It delves into the human character, beautifully illustrating the connection between nature and individuals. The research specifically examines shy or introverted community members, revealing insights into their thoughts, behaviors, lifestyles, and fashion choices.
This study is dedicated to understanding a community facing life challenges, including difficulties in face-to-face communication, concerns about societal perceptions, and the exploration of colors outside their comfort zones. The aim is to foster a comprehensive understanding of these individuals for the benefit of others. "
AIM
" This collection aims to appeal to introverted individuals, encouraging them to embrace change and infuse a fresh sense of fashion into their style. It gently nudges them towards current trends, adding unique twists to help them express themselves in a truly memorable fashion."
'' For the complete collection, a colloquium paper below, that covers deep understanding of concept, design thinking, understanding niche audience behavior and conducting research on them, and collection production. ''
