自然界中我們發現渦狀造形常伴隨自然現象發生，像颱風、星雲、流水漩渦、龍捲風等，或是在動、植物中像蕨類、貝類，均可發現渦狀造形的在自然界的蹤跡。在人類的造形藝術活動中，亦出現許多相似於這類自然界中渦狀造形物，形似卻有不盡相同之意涵。從藝術社會學的觀點來看，造形形成皆和社會環境、文化有其密切之關係。從相關文獻、史料分析出的資料中有許多相似造形其成因卻不盡相同，相似造形如何在創作者的心理因素、時空因素皆不盡相同的條件下，創作、產生相似的構成造形，是本文所要探討的。

We can find the volute form going along with nature phenomena in the natural world, such as typhoons, nebula, flowing water volute, and tornado etc., or in some animals and plants like brake, and shellfish. There is also some similar volute form in artifact like those in natural world. They may have different meanings even though having the similar form. In the view of sociology of art, the forms closely relate with the social environment and culture. We can find many things having similar form but different meaning. The purpose of this paper is understanding the reason why forms forming within different factors of time, space, creator.
