Stained glass-like project (IT related)

I've always admired stained glass in buildings like churches, and I think it adds an incredible charm to certain houses.

I spend a lot of time studying computing—maybe I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with it, but it's close… so I wanted to represent people who have played an important role in this field's development, from Blaise Pascal with his calculating machine, to Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, and more recently, Linus Torvalds, Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, etc."

I'm moving in a few months, and in my apartment, I have large windows that I'd like to decorate. I've started looking into it, and my sister, who studied this field, told me it's complicated to implement because stained glass is very heavy, requiring space-consuming tools like a grinder to smooth the glass, etc. So, I think I'll go for relief painting on plexiglass panels, framed with gold-colored metal pipes/bars that can be mounted on top of the windows (that way, if I sell the apartment, I can easily remove them without having to replace the windows).

I've generated some images with DALL-E I will use to help me create the design

Above all these incredible people, I'm reserving a special place for Terry A. Davis, with a halo of light behind him, displaying the icon of the language he developed, Holy C. He truly deserves this place, not only for his genius but also for his connection to religion. I think it would be a wonderful tribute to his memory.

I don't know how much time this project will take before existing, I should move in few months, I would need many other months to make the design and work on it, just wanted to share this project, what do you think about it ?
This is a really cool idea!

I did something similar with the glass door on an old PC of mine. Unfortunately it got broke a few months later during a move. I’ll see if I can find a pic.

Good luck with the project - please share your progress with us!
