**SENTINEL**
*The Courage to Carry Both*
Mothers are often celebrated for giving life, yet their greatest sacrifices are rarely seen. They carry not only their children but also their fears, hopes, struggles, and the responsibility of protecting tomorrow.
*Sentinel* is a tribute to the quiet courage of mothers, the unseen guardians who continue to carry, protect, and endure, even when the weight is theirs alone to bear.
**For every mother whose strength goes unnoticed.**
