My Art Project Went Awry

Hey there everyone! I'm an artist and I recently did this thing where I created a mixed-media piece about my favorite book. The problem is, halfway through the project, I got so carried away with sticking in all sorts of things that I didn't plan on using, old candy wrappers, broken pieces from another sculpture, even a few strands of someone's hair that caught the wind and landed on it by chance. My piece started looking more like an exploded collage than anything cohesive or artistic. I know art is subjective, but deep down, I feel like I just threw together random stuff and called it my masterpiece. To make matters worse, there was supposed to be a small show at my local gallery for new artists, and this disaster has my name on the guest list!
