Set the Blending mode to Overlay for this layer

Paint on the mask to hide the illuminated part just to have visible the girl’s hand.

Next we need to combine in a group all the earlier created layers (press CTRL button to select the necessary layers and then hold on the left mouse’s button while dragging the selected layers on Create a new group icon from bottom part of the Layers panel).

Next we’ll represent several rectangles above the girl’s figure, applying in this case the Rectangle Tool (U). The lines will be turned over with the Free Transform (Ctrl+T) command.

Set the Fill to 12% for this layer and change the Blending mode to Linear Dodge. Click on Add a layer style icon from bottom part of the Layers panel to select Inner Shadow

We’ve got the next effect on the rectangle:

Make two copies of the layer with the rectangle. Choose Free Transform (Ctrl+T) command to place the copies the same way indicated below. Set a different Fill parameter on the copies’ layers.

Next we’ll represent the fracture of the girl’s image. In this case make the girl’s layer active in Layer panel, press CTRL button and click on the layer containing the rectangle. We’ve got a selection.

Choose after that the Move Tool (V), click and move the selection with arrows keys to get the same position as in the picture below. This operation needs to be done for each rectangle.
