Cannot use relative path when using img tag react

I have a img tag that is not loading the image i want when i use a relative src path for my React project. When I do:

//import { ReactComponent } from '*.svg';
import React from 'react';
import firebase from "./firebase.js";
import "./LobbyStyle.css";
import pfp2 from "./images/pfp2.png"

class ImgButton extends React.Component {

    constructor(props){
        super();
    }

    render(props){
        return (<button style = ><img src = {pfp2} onClick = {this.props.onClick}/></button>)
    }
}

class ImgRow extends React.Component {

    render(){
        var iconlist = this.props.images.map(image => 
            <div key = {image} >
                <ImgButton onClick = {this.props.onClick} img = {image}/>
            </div>
        )
        return(
            <div style=>
                {iconlist}
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default ImgRow;

It displays the following:

However when I replace the imported image with a relative path It doesn't load:

//import { ReactComponent } from '*.svg';
import React from 'react';
import firebase from "./firebase.js";
import "./LobbyStyle.css";
//import pfp2 from "./images/pfp2.png"

class ImgButton extends React.Component {

    constructor(props){
        super();
    }

    render(props){
        return (<button style = ><img src = {"./images/pfp2.png"} onClick = {this.props.onClick}/></button>)
    }
}

class ImgRow extends React.Component {

    render(){
        var iconlist = this.props.images.map(image => 
            <div key = {image} >
                <ImgButton onClick = {this.props.onClick} img = {image}/>
            </div>
        )
        return(
            <div style=>
                {iconlist}
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default ImgRow;

What am i doing wrong? is it necessary to import my images? Here is my file path, as you can see i believe the relative path is correct, since the images folder is in the same folder as my code:
