Born in Moscow in 2003, Toma grew up moving between Russian cities (Kolchugino, Lukhovitsy) before her family relocated to the Netherlands when she was only six. She obtained her photography degree in 2019 and now studies art history in Amsterdam while working as a multimedia artist and documentary photographer.
