How to make pictures instead of a dot in slick-slider?

Question

Layout

I'm making up a slider (picture below). I did it as it should, but I think that this is somehow a crutch and perhaps it can be done somehow more correctly (or maybe it’s the best anyway). Took the solution from another question. Taken from here . What is the essence of the question: offer your solution that is more suitable for this slider.

As required:


HTML:

<slider class="myslider">


    <div class="container ">
        <div class="myslider__items">

            <div class="myslider__inner ">
                <img src="img/slide-1.jpg" alt="" class="myslider__img">
                <div class="myslider__text">
                    <div class="myslider__header">Slide One</div>
                    <div class="myslider__words">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, malorum recteque reprehendunt ea vel.
                        Urbanitas adolescens vim te, per at tritani aperiri. Adhuc invenire convenire his ea. </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="myslider__inner ">
                <img src="img/slide-2.jpg" alt="" class="myslider__img">
