    Not sure your exact situation, but from just the information you shared, there seem to be three options that you can choose from.

    • just show everything: hide nothing, let them judge you

    There’s actually the fourth option in which you create something new just to show them, but would it be the kind of piece you’d be proud of? It wouldn’t be the same as the ones you’d want to show them.
