naufragar a (in this context)

In fact, the entire article paraphrases Gulliver's Travels, though blending the artist's life and works into them. Let me quote the first paragraph of this chapter:
"Volar es hacer que las cosas se vuelvan pequeñas. Hay otras formas de hacerlo. El viaje por tierra o por mar es una de ellas. Al visitar otros países y conocer nuevas costumbres, el viajero toma distancia de su entorno habitual, mira de diferente modo, descubre relaciones insospechadas entre los paisajes, las personas y las historias que hay detrás: de los paisajes, de las personas y de sí mismo."

Hi Monica! Can we have more background? This does not seem to be any of the well known versions of Gulliver's adventures and I have the feeling this pair's drifting into an unknown world is their choice. Is that right?

When you are adrift, you have lost your ship/boat and are floating without any direction. Castaways have arrived on land.

The shipwreck happens at the beginning of Gulliver's Travels (I was thinking it came later), so by the time Gulliver meets the artist in this contemporary allegory, he is already adrift at sea.
