Item.Image not displaying in Jekyll

I have a bunch of portfolio posts in /_works/ and the front matter looks something like this:

title: "Rock in Rio Lisbon 2018"
date: July, 2018
image: "/assets/images/work/rock-in-rio-lisbon-2018.jpg"
categories:
  - Intro
slides:
  - title: "Rock in Rio Lisbon 2018 Headliner Show for Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Muse & The Killers"
    id: "O-rZ6IFnv9g"

override: true

On the homepage I'm using the Slides.ID to automatically grab the YouTube video's thumbnail. If the front matter includes Override: true it should display what I have defined as the image instead. Here is the what I have:

{% assign works = site.works | reverse %}
{% for item in works limit:9 %}
<li class="{% cycle 'wide','','','','','','','','' %}">
<a href='{{ site.url }}{{ item.url }}'>


    {% if item.override %}
    {% for item in item.slides limit:1 %}
        <img alt="A frame from a video of {{ item.title }}" loading="lazy" src="{{ site.url }}{{ item.image }}" />
    {% endfor %}
    {% else %}
    {% for item in item.slides limit:1 %}
        <img alt="A frame from a video of {{ item.title }}" loading="lazy" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/{{ item.id }}/sddefault.jpg" />
    {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}

    <div class='overlay'>
    <div class='thumb-info'>
        <h3>{{ item.title }}</h3>
        <p>{{ item.categories | sort |  join:" • " | escape }}</p>
        <p>{{ item.image }}</p>
    </div>
    </div>
</a>
</li>      
{% endfor %}

When Jekyll compiles, the {{ item.image }} is not working…however, if I swap it with {{ item.title }} it does work. Any ideas why this is happening?

You are reusing the 'item' variable in slides, which overwrites it. Rename the variable 'item' to 'slide' when you are looping through the slides, like this:

{% assign works = site.works | reverse %}
{% for item in works limit:9 %}
<li class="{% cycle 'wide','','','','','','','','' %}">
<a href='{{ site.url }}{{ item.url }}'>


    {% if item.override %}
    {% for slide in item.slides limit:1 %}
        <img alt="A frame from a video of {{ slide.title }}" loading="lazy" src="{{ site.url }}{{ slide.image }}" />
    {% endfor %}
    {% else %}
    {% for slide in item.slides limit:1 %}
        <img alt="A frame from a video of {{ slide.title }}" loading="lazy" src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/{{ slide.id }}/sddefault.jpg" />
    {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}

    <div class='overlay'>
    <div class='thumb-info'>
        <h3>{{ item.title }}</h3>
        <p>{{ item.categories | sort |  join:" • " | escape }}</p>
        <p>{{ item.image }}</p>
    </div>
    </div>
</a>
</li>      
{% endfor %}
