French term or phrase: s'incarner dans
Bonjour,
je ne suis par sur de la façon de traduire "s'incarner" dans la phrase suivante:
c’est quelque chose qu’il va garder en tete mais sous une autre forme et cela va s’incarner notamment autour de la creation par Monet meme, si je puis dire, du motif des grandes toiles qu’il va peindre tout au long des trente dernières annees de sa vie.

Je vous donne le contexte, c'est une conversation parlée, donc des phrases très longues et pas forcément bien liées:

On sait aussi qu’il avait appris son métier de peintre en plein air avec un peintre extraordinaire qui était Eugène Boudin, qui avait bien sur une predilection pour les vues marittimes et les ciels, surtout, changeant au dessus de ces eaux et donc vraiment rendre un instant autour des paysages d’eau a toujour été une des grandes quetes de la vie de Monet. Alors, dans la fin de la vie, si je puis dire, en tout cas dans la maturité de la vie de Monet, c’est quelque chose qu’il va garder en tete mais sous une autre forme et cela va s’incarner notamment autour de la creation par Monet meme, si je puis dire, du motif des grandes toiles qu’il va peindre tout au long des trente dernières annees de sa vie, cela va s’incarner donc je disais, autour de la creation d’un étang, un etang très particulier puisque c’est quelquechose qu’il va construire au Coeur de sa propriété de Giverny, en Normandie, et donc Monet, à partir du debut des annees 1890 va commencer a mettre en forme ce jardin d’eau.

Pour le moment j'ai pensé à ça, mais j'ai beaucoup de doutes:
In his late life, if I may say so, in the maturity of life anyway, he kept heading to this but in another form, in the guise of the motif of the large canvases he painted throughout the last thirty years of his life, in the guise of the creation of a pond, of a very special pond...

agree  writeaway: using dictionaries and/or thesauri is often very helpful /agree terms like this don't really need looking up but reference sources can help those who don't know the translation into English
