o Fogo enquanto Luz
português para inglês
Arte/Literatura
Arte, Artesanato e ofícios, Pintura
From an exhibition catalogue, referring to a sculptural installation, European Portuguese:
"4] Os Elementos.
O Ar e o Vento, a Água e o Nevoeiro **o Fogo
enquanto Luz** e as Matérias da Terra habitam
nestes corpos. Todos são matérias elementais,
partes e não fragmentos de um Todo que não só
nos cerca, como nos constitui."
I don't think I quite understand the use of 'enquanto' here - is it simply another way of saying 'and' or 'as well as' here, or is it rather something like 'as' or 'represented by'??
Many thanks
