The collage sounds like fun, rainbow, and like it has a lot of potential. I would be excited too! My daughter has done at least one collage with her T, who is a trained art therapist. They each contribute different images to it. They cut them out of magazines, and they use words they cut out too. They talk about why they chose the images they did for the collage, and that helps them have a conversation. My daughter supplied some of the magazines for cutting, and her T supplied some too. I don't think their collage had a theme like yours will (mother). On the other hand, if my daughter was making a collage themed around me, she probably wouldn't tell me, LOL. (Although she and her T did show me the finished collage, and it was very cool.) I will be interested to hear how this activity goes, rainbow.
