src from local directory not working

Hi, I am having an issue with displaying an image from my local directory:

<img data-v-6383fb07="" src="~/assets/images/postcards/jake-starr-f.png" alt="green lawn grass during daytime" style="height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px;">

This fails to load the image, however loading an external image works fine, eg:

<img data-v-6383fb07="" src="https://image.nuxtjs.org/preview.png" alt="green lawn grass during daytime" style="height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px;">

This is most likely not an error with blur hash, but if someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong it'd be much appreciated! Thanks in advance
