The lighting in this photograph allows the viewer to wonder about what is not visible as well as highlights the main elements. This image has high contrast due to the directional lighting scenario and having the rest of the body in shadow. Having only the eyes and a small part of the body lit, the viewer then wonders where the subject is, and what she is thinking about. Using lighting to show only the elements of a photograph that you want to tell a story is one way of keeping the audience in suspense. Also it allows them to interpret more of a story of their own, compared to when the whole image is shown to the viewer. Some things a person looking at this photograph may interpret is that the subject is looking through something or longing for something. There is such a deep story behind her eye and you can not help but want to know everything about it.
