It doesn't really - too much depth in a too small space. The outline and
the mouth, making up most of the picture, lock together with whichever
eye is in the middle, making it look as if you had two noses and three
eyes. =)

Incidentally, very much the same effect can be seen by standing in front
of a mirror (or staring somebody in the face) and crossing your eyes
until two of the eyes you're seeing blend together. The mind locks on to
one superficial similarity (A human eye is pretty symmetrical, so the
left and the right one look much the same.) and tries to blend the rest
of the two contradicting views together, creating quite an interesting
"cyclopean" effect.
