Yuc hun

Yuc hun is an artform created in order to question the perception of how structures are built. It aims to accomplish this by embracing simplicity and encouraging creativity and elegance by imparting restrictions.

The name "Yuc hun" came about after a mispronunciation of "duck" and "gun". It sounded like a yoga movement from the east but the name was vacant.

Practices
Practicing Yuc hun requires a suitable location in which a build area of 5x5x8 blocks can be designated. The movement is freeform but materials such as stone, sand and gravel are preferred and quantities of each material should not exceed a stack. The building is supposed to impart a zen and make the participants appreciate each and every block. Whilst not customary, Yuc hun has three principles of Y, one principle for each line making up the letter.

Firstly, practicioners should count the blocks used and give each piece a tile and a date. The precise precision is up to the participants. But general a sign detailing the number of each block is sufficient. But it can be simpler or much more complicated such as detailing the coordinate of every block in relation to the centre.

Furthermore, practicioners should not limit the blocks placed and broken as an artist since imperfections are part of the form and let stray blocks tell a story.

Finally, the use of wooden tools is viewed a sign of humility and frugality among dedicated practicioners. Their use is meant to give the work a feeling like playing classic minecraft with the limited blocks and non ideal tools.
