رتوش

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi Everyone,

This is from a Syrian text.

I'm not sure what it means in this context.

"وهو ينقّل نظراته بين وجهها الذي لم تفلح في رتق كدماته بمواد تجميلية، كان مقدّرا لها أن تكون رتوشًا للحظات جميلة طالما حلمت بها ...

Thanks!

I believe لها in مقدراً لها refers to the retouches.
Note from asker:
Thank you for this! @Saeed and @ Abd Alrahman Almidani Do you think the sentence then means something like: It was her destiny to continually retouch the beautiful moments that she had always dreamed of ?
