Tanja Pak se ustvarjalno posveča kiparstvu, prostorskim umetniškim postavitvam in oblikovanju uporabnih steklenih predmetov. V umetniških delih zadnjih let raziskuje predvsem občutke osamljenosti in samosti, pri čemer izpostavlja iskanje bližine, krhko naravo medsebojnih vezi in razmerij, in ob tem seveda izmuzljivost naše celosti.
