Morey is the man behind the set designs around the celebrity wax figures at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas. However, with Aaliyah's set up, he wanted it to reflect how Aaliyah actually was rather than just a pretty wax figure.

“This set, rather than being a recreation of any one particular Aaliyah moment, was instead designed with a message to her fans in mind,” Morey said.
