Mock Client Sam: 1: Clinical Art Therapy

For Clinical Art Therapy, we are given a bare bones description of a "mock client" (we have 3 choices, choose one) whom we then "flesh out" with our own details.
I chose Sam, male, 50, sculptor, has wife and a son he's estranged from.  Recently learned he has cancer, depressed.  I added details: was unfaithful to wife in past, family found out, hence his estrangement from son. Sam and wife worked it out, but marriage has been very strained since.  Sam has brain cancer, unusual behaviors, went to doctor, found out he has brain cancer.

Directions for first assignment: create an artwork of choice, and if you were a tree, what would you be?
