I am sure you could see light from the back of your head, but the chances of it staying as an image of your head is not going to happen because the gravity swings in waves, which twist and crush together riping everything between them apart, and I am sure the the gravity would be twisting the image around your head the same. Probably see colors is all, and only if you were facing in the direction of gravitational pull.

Nothing in the universe can resist the riping and crushing of the tidal forces produced by gravity, which means that this is an impossibility to do in the first place, but it is an interesting thing to think about.
