(Neo & Flow Immersion)

After Ramalho’s Festival, my next stop was something a bit different — the Neo and Flow Immersion Festival, organized by my friends. I moved to Botafogo for a few days to be closer to the event and soak in the experience fully. The atmosphere was unique, filled with alternative music styles and more introspective, emotional dances.

One of the highlights was a trip to Paquetá Island, where we spent the day outdoors dancing, laughing, and sharing quiet moments as the sun slowly set. I loved capturing it all — people connecting, the light through the trees, that soft island energy that makes you feel like time has slowed down.

I lived some intense emotions during that time — not all of them easy, as I was going through personal struggles in the background. But maybe that’s why the memories are so vivid. That festival became a space where I felt everything more deeply, and I’ll carry those moments with me for a long time.
