To create an interaction in Webflow that changes the z-index between two images, you can follow these steps:

Open your project in Webflow and navigate to the page where you want to create the interaction.
Add the two images to your page by dragging and dropping the image elements onto your canvas.
Select the first image element and go to the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar. Under the "Position" section, set the z-index value to a lower number (e.g., 1).
Select the second image element and set its z-index value to a higher number (e.g., 2).
With the second image still selected, go to the "Interactions" tab in the right sidebar and click on the "+" button next to "On Load" or any other trigger you prefer.
Select "Start an animation," and then "Transform" from the animation options.
In the Transform animation panel, you can choose what kind of animation you want to apply to the second image (e.g., move, rotate, scale). Choose an animation that suits your design.
Once you've set up the animation, scroll down to the "When this animation starts" section and click on "+ Affect different element."
Select the first image element and set its z-index value to a higher number (e.g., 2).
Preview your interaction by clicking on the "Preview" button at the top right of the Webflow designer. You should now see the z-index change between the two images when the animation triggers.

Remember to save your changes and publish your site for the interaction to be visible on your live website.

You can also add different trigger events for this interaction, such as a hover trigger, click trigger, or scroll trigger.
Experiment with different animations, easing options, and durations to achieve the desired effect.
It's possible to create more complex interactions by combining multiple animations and interactions together.
