Animation effect in Owl Carousel

Hi,
I wanted to achieve an effect, where when you click on an object in the carousel, it’s size increases, and the side objects move sideways (to make space).

I tried to do this using jquery – like “$this.css(‘height’, ‘120%’).css(‘width’, ‘120%’);”

But it does not increase the height, only the width, and it overlaps the side elements.
Any help is appreciated please!
