Original ideas often look strange before enough people copy them.

Anything genuinely new has no category to be received in, so the first reaction is usually confusion or dismissal. Later, once enough people have imitated it, the same thing looks obvious, and everyone forgets it ever appeared strange. Strangeness at the start is not evidence against a thing.

When your work meets a puzzled response, separate two questions: is it unclear, or is it unfamiliar. Unclear is worth fixing. Unfamiliar may be the point. Ask a few people what they did not understand, and be careful not to sand off the part that made it yours.
