Add image to meta field variant description

Store Design

Hi everyone hope all of you guys are doing great!

I can really use some help please , I’ve been searching everywhere on the internet and can’t seem to find the guide/steps on how to achieve what I’m trying to do, So as you can see I have two variants and I’ll be using the same product picture for both options, the only thing I want to change is the image for the description, as you can see above I posted a image with some product details , I’d like for my store to display a different picture with the specific details for the other variant option when clicking the button is that possible ?

@Jrdiamondsco its possible to change variant image on change option, but it’s a technical work to understand JS and Liquid code.
