running the ring under her eye

Don't rings, circles, and mandalas usually indicate wholeness and inter-connections? I get the impression most people think there is some sort of connection between Weronika and Veronique. Maybe for them the rings represent each girl getting in touch somehow with the other. But there is an opposite interpretation: when each girl wipes one of her eyes with a ring, she is maybe trying to clear what is left of her vision in that eye, but soon thereafter half of her life seems to wither away, as if she's completely lost half of her vision. (W wipes her left eye, and V, her right eye.)

Hi, I asked the same question to my girlfriend. She is from Poland and they believe that when you get a bit of dust in you eye, rubbing a gold ring (or any other thing made out of gold) will get rid of it. This belief in the magical properties of objects seems to fit very well the personality of Weronika; she uses it when a bit of make up goes into her eye. Later on in the movie we see Veronique doing the same thing but in my opinion she is replicating the Weronika’s gesture rather than using it to clean her eyes.

I hope this helps. Thanks
