Visitors to the Candelária church in downtown Rio will not have failed to notice the striking kinetic sculpture in front of the Olympic flame

 The work of art is, in fact, part of the Rio 2016 hybrid version of the traditional Olympic Cauldron, and will remain on display until 21 August, the final day of the Games

The artist behind the unique sculpture, Anthony Howe, is celebrated for his works of art that move through the power of the wind

 "I want to show them a moment of grace
