You cannot load images from the project folder it is .htaccess protected.
Code:
<IfModule authz_core_module>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !authz_core_module>
Deny from all
</IfModule>
This is where you should be loading your resources.
PHP Code:
<?= $this->extend('layouts/default') ?>
What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
