Chasing

Chasing. The process of pursuing. The desire to track something down and possess it. This title describes so many things in Rice's life, but specifically, it references his father's death. The most traumatic event of the author's varied experiences, Rice uses this occurrence as a catalyst to write about other aspects of his life, from relationships and passion to self-doubt and control. His constant pursuit of worthiness and happiness is evident in the variety of perspectives shown in his work. Chasing is about the desire in all of us to pursue the things that make us feel alive, sometimes successfully, and other times to our own detriment.
