"A circular stain glass window" analysis

Descriptive sentences/words in order to inspire a starting point: 

I LOVE stain glass windows, they are so colourful and intricate! full of pattern and life. This particular one is from the FCH Chapel. At first I was unsure how to work with it in terms of abstract, as it already was quite abstract. It reminded me of a Kaleidoscope which then brought me to think about how surreal and interesting they can be, and how they transform between several different variations/ colours. 

Thought process on the page:

With the Kaleidoscope in mind I changed the colours to what I would prefer, sticking with the main pattern design but tweaking with my own touches, I thought of a glass spherical lamp, held by silver leaves, emitting some rather lovely light. I then decided to play with the mystery of death "what comes next, where do we go" I thought it would be ironic to fill the barrel of a shotgun with pretty patterns and colours, provoking the curiosity of what does it mean? Well it could mean whatever the viewer wants it to mean, mystery, space, light...or just a bunch of pattern and colour.
