Yes, you technically can personify backwards. It is typically called 'backwards personification.' An example of it is giving a human animal characteristics, such as, "I dug into my food like a bear killing its prey." Or you could give a person the characteristics of an object, although this is much more difficult. Something like, "I sat there; motionless, like memories in a picture frame."

These are just some minor examples of what you can do with backwards personification.
