python tkinter image "…" doesn't exist error

Question

from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

window = Tk()
window.geometry("350x670")

topBar = Frame(window, bg= "black", width=350, height=70).pack()
middleBar = Frame(window, bg= "grey", width=350, height=530).pack()
botBar = Frame(window, bg= "black", width=350, height=70).pack()

imgLabel1 = Label(topBar, image="profile-pic.jpg").place(x=50,y=50)


window.mainloop()

This is my code. I want to set an image in topBar frame. When I run the code, I get this error:

_tkinter.TclError: image "profile-pic.jpg" doesn’t exist>

How can I solve this error? Thank you

imgLabel1 = Label(topBar, image=image)
imgLabel1.place(x=50, y=50)
