It's art if the artist decides it is. You don't have to agree with them, but art is not some objective form you can define, it's entirely subjective.

It's art if the viewer decides it is

What the artist thinks or desires is often irrelevant. (Edited)

And what committee decided this? Who gave them the authority to decide how an artist should feel about their own work?
